My Brother-out-law has a photography studio and would like to begin to take and manipulate digital photo's. He already owns a very high end camera and now needs a computer to go with it. His P3 475 just wont keep up. He's asked for advice from conputer retailers and the advice all seems to be the same... "spend $2200 on the box so you can have the latest thing we have".

He owns the latest edition of PhotoShop. I've suggested that a decent 2G system with 512M would do him nicely for around $8 or 900. But I'm not an expert by any measure. We'd both appreciate any advice. Thanks, Chris
