Hi,
My mother in law is looking for a new PC base unit to replace her laptop, she is branching into professional photography and is looking for a good machine which will handle photo editing (Adobe packages).
She has also thought about editing some of her home videos shot on an HD camera in the near future.
Her local computer shop quoted £750 for (and this is all I could gleem) 4GB Ram, 2TB HDD, Quad Core, Graphics card (Some kind of gamer type).
I am trying to do my research however there is a wealth of information and differing views out there, I need some direction.
Is a Quad Core really needed for photo and eventually video editing? Will a 'gamer type' graphics card be required also? I though perhaps something from the Quatro range may be more suitable (~£50)?
She already has a HP 24" widescreen monitor.
I hope someone is able to shed some additional light on this subject as it is most confusing.
Thanks
