I'm about to buy a new notebook computer to run CS2

IBM says that a T2500 processor with a mg of RAM and an intel graphics media accelerator will be fine.

Would a dedicated 128 MB AI Mobility Radeon X1400 provide a noticeable increase in speed?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It will help in effects, rendering, layouts, etc dramatically. I have an ATI Radeon 9700 pro with 128MB..it's a very fast card and it helps out a lot from before when I only had onboard graphics.

CD #1 was great, rate a 9/10. Will start CD #1 for InDesign soon after.
