CS5 Which Mac Pro.? £1000 Budget.

[Crazy Saul]

Hi Everyone, First post, Bear with me. Looking to buy a Mac Pro and just need some advice with regards to the many processor and core configurations available. I dont mind buying a few upgrades in the future. I use Photoshop Daily. Probably buying from E Bay. Just need to know which machines i should be looking out for. i.e. Dual or Quad and Minimum Ram and 256 or 512 card. Many Thanks. Dave.

If your budget is that low, and you don't REALLY need internal expansion, then you'd be better off getting an iMac from a year or so ago. It should run CS5 just fine for just normal usage.

The best you can find to be honest.

2008 model if your lucky...

either a 2008 2.8 quad-core or an iMac.

'08 quad-cores are hard to find, though, since the 8-cores were standard.
