Confessions from a blonde...
Here I was feeling sorry for myself and wanting to upgrade to PSE5 from PSE3 and somehow I got it stuck in my head that I would have to upgrade my computer first. But today I stopped by Staples and bought PSE5 anyway- figured I probably wouldn't find a better price then $59.99 after rebate.
So I get home and a friend that is into building computers stops by to see the new mini van so I have him take a look at my system for me..................... My CPU is 3.0 GHZ, 1GB of RAM, and 49.4 GB of memory available. Boy do I feel dumb! (of course I will feel even dumber is someone tells me that I don't have enough to run PSE5 after all.) I may still take him off on the memory offer - and maybe add a DVD burner.

Jane, I too have less RAM than you and about the same memory available and I have been using v5 for about a week and a half with no problems.

Jane,
Your specs look just fine. I've got 1 1.6 GHz, with 480 RAM (available) on my laptop and I run just fine - a little slow on some of the filters, and organizer takes forever to start. That 49.4GB number is your Disk Space. You should be fine. Your RAM is 1 Meg, that's plenty. You are good to go. -Trish

Thanks - now I just have to go back and read all the threads about how to go about making a seamless transfer. I use ACDSee for my photos so I think the only thing I have to worry about is all the styles, effects, actions etc that I don't want to lose.
This would be so much easier if the baby would just sleep for longer than 2 hrs at a stretch.... functioning in a state of constant sleep deprivation can definately be a challange!
