Whether you are talking about Windows or Office or Photoshop, it was always the software that drove the hardware. I have a laptop from 1998 which cannot even run Netscape 7.x (technically it can but it runs so unbearably slowly that it is useless). I doubt that I could have installed Win XP on it, so it still has Win 98. But when I went from Photoshop 7 to CS, I found that CS actually ran faster on the same computer. (Yes, I realize that there is now CS2 but I have not bothered to upgrade to that).
