QUOTE(shady @ Oct 16 2008, 02:25 PM) Pls check the system requirements for those software before deciding. I think should be able to run but please upgrade your RAM to at least 2GB or 3GB. Better if you get 4 GB and install 64bit Windows because some apps are optimised for 64bit OS. thanks for the advice shady' will do
