Good morning all,

I am about to pick up a used 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo Mini and was wondering will my version of Photoshop install on the machine.

I am currently running it on a G4 1.25Ghz Mini with 1GB of ram works just fine.

Thanks

PS. It's just Photoshop CS not the creative suite
 
Yeah it'll run, but because it will run under Rosetta you get a performance hit. Compensate by buying lots of RAM.

Thanks for the quick reply but will it install ? please bare with me this will be my first Intel based Mac so I just don't know if my old software will install.

Thanks again
 
Yes it wil install. It will be faster in use on your old G4 though.

CS3 will be faster on the Intel.

CS3 will be faster on the Intel.

the Core 2 Duo machine might be close to the performance of the G4.

On my 2.4 GHZ Core duo with 3 GB of memory the CS Photoshop is way faster than my Powerbook 1.5 GHZ G4.
