I just got a *free* computer. CPU is an X2 AMD 5000. Dumped Vista and
installed Win7_64bit

All I had to do was replace the dead power supply and brought the RAM up
to 4 gigs

It has a low end on-board nVidia chip that is not capable of Direct X.

I gave the machine to my wife and she will use it for Photoshop
exclusively. The machine will not be used for games or video.

Seems to work ok but wondering if it would be worth it to get a better
video card, would there be any advantage?

Check the system requirements of the photoshop version you plan on using
to see if your video card is OK.

Photoshop seems to be working OK

I checked the card and it actually does have Direct X just no GPU
so it should be fine

I am going to order some more RAM and assign at least 4 gigs to
Photoshop. It seems to be working pretty well the way it is now...but
RAM is pretty cheap
