sed, Song...... Why do fool&acute;s fall in love? I&acute;m probably wrong but oooooo-aaaaah oooooo-aaaaah why, do, fools, fall, in, love.......... LOL <BR> <BR>Thanks doreen :-) they do have good bargins in there, you just have to grab it when you see it or its gone the next time you go back...... buyers regret! They were $1,dollars cheaper then any where else I looked, and its just the cheaper speakers thats the down fall and graphics card or expandable to 2G won&acute;t cost that much, so me is happy, its the best B-Day gift I ever got from hobnobber :-)

hmmm is this a guy complaining that something is too big? if you have a laptop w/ 20 gig and think that is too big, then you are not using your laptop to the fullest of it&acute;s ability...

No Crae/Adni, I clicked on my Display Prop. icon... has nothing to do with PS, I just use diferent resolutions. Whenever working with GFX it&acute;s 1600 res, but when working on text, I&acute;m back to 1024 :-) <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Is this for other resolution than 1024x768 Jerry? <BR>Why Photoshop and not directly Display Properties? <BR> <BR>Any way, If someone with laptop will change the resolution higher than 1024x768, then he doesn&acute;t have full screen any more.

I have done all my works in my Compaq 1800 laptop with 20GB hard Disk and 15&quot; monitor, but as Robohead says, the only resolution of 1024x768 is killing me. <BR>I my office I have a Mac with 80GB HD and it is always (!!!!) almost full...unbelievable! The law of Merfy. :)

I had an HP laptop for the last year. I just sold it a couple of weeks ago. It came with a 6 GB hard drive and I ran out of storage room, so I bought 20 GB drive for it. It was a nice computer, but I could only run in 1024X768 res.. I sold it and bought a desktop system (Athlon XP 1800+). I now run 1280X1024. =) That is pretty much the only reason I got rid of the laptop. I never really liked running in anything smaller than 1280. The only bad part is that now I have to modify most of my favorite Hoverdesk themes to run in a higher res.

hey Sed :) <BR> <BR>GFX and Audio are very demanding on your resources. Example- Photoshop with multiple undos needs a good size and &acute;dedicated&acute; scratch disk. you also need a fast processor when manipulating multiple layers on higher resolution wallpapers. The list goes on! <BR>I have recently installed XP and that alone took 2 gig of my hard disk. <BR> <BR>Anyhow, my 2 year old workstation: <BR> <BR>Dell Dimension P3 - 866MHrz <BR>1x4GB SCSI main drive <BR>1x20GB storage drive <BR>512 MB of EC (Error Correcting) RAM <BR>21&quot; Sony trinitron monitor <BR>Nvidia TNT2 32 MB graphics card <BR>SoundBlaster Live audio card <BR>Video Logic professional sound system <BR> <BR>and I don&acute;t have a laptop.. :-(
