It is more important to make sure the computeryou buy has enough RAM (Random Access Memory). This is the computer’s ‘thinking space’. These days most models are supplied with 512Mb of RAM, which is just about enough, though 1Gb is better. Avoid computers which offer only 256Mb of RAM.

Digital images can take up a lot of space, especially as your collection grows. Hard disk size is measured in Gb (gigabytes – 1Gb equals 1,000Mb). A collection of 10,000 photos could easily take up 20Gb of space, and this will increase if you save lots of edited versions and photographic projects. For this reason, an 80Gb hard disk is really a minimum requirement and 160Gb or more is better.
