CS5 vs Emachine ET1161-07

[daasu]

I bought an Emachine awhile ago for the purpose of just surfing and storing pictures. I now want to get into photo editing, and would like to install CS5.

Will my machine handle it?

The only thing I can really afford is to upgrade ram, would that help?

Last Q, can I just add 2 sticks of 2g? Or do I have to replace the stick already there?

Thank you.

Unless that PC has the 64-bit version Windows Vista or 7, do not bother adding more memory. The 3GB that PC came with will be fine for photo editing.

It's 32 bit vista.

Then your 3GB of memory is fine.
