I am looking at purchasing Adobe Creative Suite 4: Design Premium (student edition) for my daughter, she already has CS2.
I was reading on Adobe's website, and went though some forums, but have yet to see any for sure answers that tell me if it will run on her PB G4.
I see that her PB doesn't meet the requirements according to Adobe's website but didn't know if these are just suggested or absolute.
CS3 isn't available any more unless you buy on eBay & yikes hate that thought. She will have her masters this semester (last chance to get students edition) & I hate to have to buy a new updated MAC just to run CS4 for her field. That is the nice thing about MAC's they are like us old people, they get older but still perform like youngsters.
Here is her PB specs:
OS 10.5.6
1.67GHz PowerPC G4
2 gig PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM
17-inch (diagonal), 1440 x 900 resolution, TFT widescreen
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 128MB of DDR SDRAM and dual-link DVI
160GB Ultra ATA/100; 5400 rpm
8x SuperDrive DVD±RW/CD-RW
Here is Adobe's requirements:
PowerPC® G5 or multicore Intel® processor
Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4
Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue Server
1GB of RAM or more recommended
10.3GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional hard-disk space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on flash-based storage devices)
1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended) with 16-bit video card
Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
DVD-ROM drive
QuickTime 7.4.5 software required for multimedia features
