The chip seems small. Even tho it's duo, doesn't necessarily imply that the Adobe software will take good thing of both chips at the same time.



You could spend partly of the 3600 and still buy you plenty to run Photoshop and play BF 2 with room to spare. 3600 will buy you two nice computers that will do adjectives of the above.



Alienware rocks but in alot of cases it's resembling buying a helicopter when you only have need of a ladder.
Alienware machines are specified as being excellent gaming machines and what else uses graphics as much as games do? Yes, and Alienware piece of equipment would probably serve you quite powerfully.
