This is for the Adobe folks I guess…unless beta testers can provide a comment on it.
With PS7, the minimum spec for the Windows platform cited a P3 processor. Although not providing optimum performance, my dual 450MHz P2 has served my needs reasonably well (ignoring recent retouching work that leaves my healing brush begging for more oomph!) with PS7. So, my question is whether anyone knows if Photoshop CS ("PSCS"??…yuck!) will run at all on a P2 system or, at the very least, a dual P2 system?

Thanks Chris…that’s pretty much the response I expected. I’ve been aching for a new P4 system but gotta’ quit doing things like buying a new HDTV widescreen if I’m going to get what I want in a PC! To keep costs down, it may be time to consider just upgrading the mobo/ram/cpu on my current system.

if you don’t update your PC soon you may get labeled a Luddite 🙂 🙂
Poor Yugo, a laughing stock over there and, for a long time, a workhorse over here. However, let me remind you that the principal promoter of selling Yugo in the States was the then U.S. ambassador to Yugoslavia Lawrence Eagleburger, and this idea cost us dearly.
Taking 80×86 instruction set wise context, When it was compilied; will/should it run on Pentium 2 systems due to this reason ? (there are no might’s here, either it was compiled to support 80686 somewhere).
It would seem that running on a machine that doesn’t support the desired SIMD instructions would be more problematic than one that doesn’t support the desired level of DRM.
There is definitely a check for OS version – the app(s) will neither install nor launch.
ouch.

Ouch. Ouch. Which is why sp3 is probably required for win2k. Ouch.
Wouldn’t it be easier to support only CPUs that have the correct features, instead of adding to complexity by offering an emulation library for outdated, and possibly buggy, computers?
That’s a trap. Don’t bother with it. I’m bewildered by this series of upgrades. I’m probably a little slow, but I can eventually tell when a platform no longer fits my needs. I don’t know what I’ll do when Safecast works on the Mac.
Chris – In post #11 I was alluding to Windows98, which you and others from Adobe have been saying is too old and/or buggy to use, even though several copies are probably working just fine right now.
OK this post really belongs in the lounge but I can’t help it.
I used to actually OWN a Yugo, given to me by my sister-in-law. I used it as a train-station car.
People that knew, when you told them you had one, would give you a sympathetic nod…
So anyway one day, and I swear I am not making this up, my wife and I were looking out the kitchen window of our small house in Princeton, NJ at the Yugo parked in the driveway. One of us remarked to the other something like, "Boy, what a piece of sh*t that car is!"
As if on cue, at that very moment, the side view mirror on the driver’s door falls off the car, right in front of our eyes.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Man alive! That is about the funniest thing I ev….
OK, OK, OK, I guess you had to be there, but that’s the type of thing you remember and retell to other’s when the opportunity arises.
