Not necessarily. Photoshop has been know to exploit weakness is systems that no other programs do. There are several topics on that in the foru.

Anyway machine spec. are :
p4 1.8 ghz
256 mb sdram
hdd 40 gb
video card nvidia 32 mb
os – winxppro – fully updated.

The RAM is a bit week, but again, an application can’t bring down the system with XP. Can you please post the info again, with brand names for each.
