And that's still overkill for audio and photo editing and home office work. How heavy audio and photo editing will you be doing? A dual core 2GB system has handled everything I've thrown at it and much more including heavy photoshop work, lossless audio editing, video editing and DVD authoring, etc. plus the most taxing 3D games. Then again, RAM is cheap as dirt these days.
