System requirements only speaks of intel processors. Is there any reason why AMD processors are not mentioned. I am thinking of buying a new setup with a AMD Athlon64 of 64 dual processor. Wise or a complete miss

It should read Intel-class processors. AMD is at least on par with Intel. No worry it runs fine here(and at many other places too) Given the price and power, power consumption/efficiency of AMD processors, it is a very wise choice!

I dumped Intel way back at the Pentium I stage & switched to AMD. Far better performance for the price.

BTW CS2 works perfectly on my AMD 3200+

Not my experience at all. AMD caused me
problems and a P4 fixed them, especially
with ATI video cards.

Driver issue maybe? I’ve used ATI with no problems?

Could be. I worked with ATI on it for weeks and finally
exchanged my AGP for a PCI card. I bought P4 and
Nvidia for the next one and have 3 monitors running off
of two Nvidia Gforce 5400, one AGP and one PCI.

Sounds like a nice set up!

Some of the early chipsets for AthlonXP motherboards had sigficant problems with ATI graphics cards, the worst being SiS chipsets (several bios revisions were issued): I know because I still have one (an Iwill motherboard) running in an older computer I use as a server. Do you blame the problem on the chipset/bios vendor or on ATI? It actually has absolutely nothing to do with AMD. Early VIA chipets for AthlonXP cpus had problems with both ATI cards and Creative Audigy sound cards. In this case it was probably the Creative drivers as the first Audigy cards had many, many software and hardware issues with Intel motherboards as well–this caused Dell many problems.Personally, I have never run any version of Photoshop on anything but AMD cpus.

It might be a little overkill. Two of the monitors are identical NEC 19" and the other is a rebuilt Dell 21" for menus. I haven’t ever had a need for more space and it’s pretty easy to manage the screens and windows. Maybe I miss complaining : -)

Posts like yours kind of steer me towards AMD but that is what happened before… I tried AMD and was disappointed, even though I can’t say whose fault it was. That was kind of what people told me … companies design for Intel first and it is usually more reliable. But I will consider AMD more closely after reading your post.
