The system details are

Processor Intel Q6600 2.4GHz (I think this has a 1066 FSB)
Motherboard LGA775 Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P P35, FSB 1333, Gb LAN, 1394, SATA 2
etc
RAM 2x2GB DDR2 800 GSkill
video ATI RADION 3870 with 512Mb
Main HD 500GB 7200RPM Western Digital SATA
Storage HD 2x 1000GB 7200RPM Seagate SATA
swapping for photoshop 74 GB 10000RPM Western Digital SATA
Monitor EIZO CG-241W 24" LCD
Vista Home Premium (32bit)

I hope this is the info you want.

My old machine had a Mitsubishi CRT (I can't think of the technology but
uses the Sony patents) which I thought pretty good but the 24inch new
monitor is really great (not yet convinced the colour is better but there is
not much in it). I am a professional photographer so sit at the computer
for days working on files up to about 1.2GB and find the new system great
with most operations only taking seconds.

Thanks jjs - any further info on the add-in extension? Where to read up on
it or download etc?

Thanks Malcolm, just what I was after.
For my situation, I wouldn't be able to afford a EIZO LCD so will keep with
my Mitsubishi CRT (although only 17"). Haven't heard of many other LCDs that
would be good enough for photo work.
The extra swap file harddrive sounds good. I imagine this helps by itself. I
presume the swap file location can be set-up in PS? Do you use this as a
swap file disk for other software?
I like the idea of a Gigabyte MOB - they always seem to get good reviews.
I am hearing mixed feedback on Windows Vista. I believe this handles large
RAM OK compared to XP Pro. I believe XP Pro won't recognize gab RAM, for
example. Do you have any comments regarding either keeping with XP Pro or
changing to Vista??
Can I assume that the copy of CS3 I have (few months old) will be adaptable
to Quadcore as per jjs post (re recoding of PS) or is it only the latest
shipping copy?
regards
Benny

Correction:
Should read "I believe XP Pro won't recognize 4Gb RAM, for example."
