I've always wondered about this too, how professional GPUs aid you in Photoshop. Does the GPU co-work with the CPU in picture transformations and filters? I can kinda understand it more in CAD though because there will be real-time 3D work for the GPU to process.

As far as I understand it's basically for smooth interfaces and movement of images (i.e. when you move the image you are working on around the screen). Even a severy hundred MB image would still display smoothly on integrated graphics.
 
Core2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66
8Gb
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
9800GT
500Gb HDD
22" Dell 2208WFP
22" Iiyama

The most important bit of the spec to me is the two monitors :D
 
It's infuriating when a large company has #### machines, they often end up getting more staff so more work can be covered, when the issue is the slow performance limiting what the employees can do.

Not having an IT literate director is very counter productive and can be damaging to a company.

Thank god the people that I work for now know what they're doing.
 
Windows XP
Pentium 4
504mb RAM - dont ask, its what dxdiag says :\
No graphics or sound.

Can just about run my browser for Oracle, anything more than 1 TAB crashes the system. Love work.
 
Desktop:

Optiplex 755 with E2180 (Dual 2.00GHz), 4GB RAM on W7x86 with 120GB HDD and 3 x 22" monitors

Laptop:

Sony Vaio with i5-2450M (Quad 2.5GHz), 8GB RAM on W7x64, 128GB SSD, 13" Screen and other connectivity gubbins

Only got the laptop recently after my boss realised that the D800 was a "little" too heavy to be trudging round comms cabs with (juggling that monster of a laptop in one hand while trying to type with the other was near on impossible, assuming I didnt want to drop it and rip the serial cable out of the device :( )

Dell E6420, i7 2.6, Win 7 64bit, 8Gb Ram, 250Gb Hdd. Just a bit over the standard spec of laptop i have now started buying for our place. Have also ugraded the desktop spec and recentralised the purchasing to IT rather than letting budget holders buy their own PCs from a spec sheet.
 
Windows 7 Professional
Office 2010 Professional
Adobe CS4

Technically i have four 24" samsung monitors as I swap between 2 desks (dock) depending what im doing :)
 
new Dell machines (i5, 4gb memory and nothing else important!) which aren't terrible, but our shoddy network doesn't help matters! Still, adequate for what we need them for!
 
Latitude D630, T7500 & 2.2GHZ, 2gb Ram, Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M, 320GB 7200rpm HDD, Bluetooth and 3g modules, 24” Dell TFT.

Had it for about 5 years now, still does the job, we have dedicated machines for CFD etc so no real need for something powerful.
 
Lenovo Thinkstation E20, Xeon X3440, 16GB RAM, 2x 1TB in RAID1, Radeon 6770, 3x Fujitsu 22.5" 1080p displays.

It's enough (just RAM wise) for doing what I need to do day-to-day. It's now about 13 months old, so nearly a year to go before I replace it.
 
ok, mine is:

  • Krypton Z68 600i Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz Overclocked Bundle
  • Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX)
  • Asus P8Z68-V Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
  • Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020038-UK)
  • Sapphire HD 6570 Ultimate Edition 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-Express SILENT Graphics Card (yeah its crap but i dont need much in terms of 3d power. and its silent :)
  • Roccat Kone+ 6000 DPI Max Customization Gaming Mouse
  • Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller - Black

basically i run the dept and i order all our stuff from overlockers :)

not bad for a work machine that usually just has to cope with 20+ chrome windows open :)

edit: win7 64bit, 2 x 1920x1200 HP monitors. several TB USB drives and 3x drives internal

****ing garbage. Lost 2 hours work yesterday because Excel just decided to crash and auto recover didn't kick in (it never seems to at work anyway :confused:).

Regularly I have to wait 20+ seconds to open folders, scrolling through PDF's (which I have to regularly) is a nightmare.

I don't know why it's such an issue, the cost of upgrading their I.T. must be miniscule in comparison to the chargability they lose every day.

i was aware that old PCs stopped you CTRL+S at less than 2 hours.... you cant blame a PC for such a nooby mistake ;)
