    buying a laptop with amd radeon hd 4250 video card

    Hi I am thinking of buying a laptop with this card. It is mostly for web browsing and general computing. It is not my gaming machine so i will probably only play older games.
    but we do want to use photoshop elements 8 with it editing RAw photos.
    The guy in the shop said this card would not do this but he may have been just trying to sell me a more expensive laptop.
    The spec is Amd dualcore p320 processor 2.1 ghz with 1mb cache
    3 gb ddr3 ram
    I am a bit surprised as I am using a 3 year old machine with intergrated graphics and only 1 gb of ram.
    Any thourhts?

    Since you will not playing the recent games and mainly you will be working on photoshop elements 8, there is no need of dedicated graphics memory. Because there is absolutely no need of graphic card for such applications. Even the photoshop elements 9 doesn't require any dedicated graphics memory. The following are the System requirements of photoshop elements 9:
    • 1.6GHz or faster processor
    • Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    • 1GB of RAM (2GB for HD video functions)
    • 3GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
    • Color monitor with 16-bit color video card
    • 1024x576 display resolution at 96dpi or less
    • Microsoft DirectX 9 compatible display driver
    • DVD-ROM drive
    • QuickTime 7 software (required if importing QuickTime formats)
    • Internet connection required for Internet-based services
