OK guys, I need a new PC. My current machine is a 700Mhz toshiba M500 with 1G ram and standard on-board video card...nothing fancy, but it does most of what I generally want: Internet browsin, MS Office and occassionally dabbling in web page creations using frontpage, dreamweaver, (Studio MX) and for browsing and printing my digital pics....besides being 5 years old and likely to expire soon, it is really, really slow when I use adobe photoshop CS. Which I want to use more and more.
So I want to buy a new, very fast machine, primarily to make Photoshop run much, much faster, plus everything else I mentioned above.
Anyone ever buy one of these?

Can anyone interpret the gobbleygook about chipset, processors etc and tell me which of these 3 is the "best" for me. My budget is about $2000, but of course I don't want to pay a lot for things(features) that won't benefit me.
Any other equivalent brands to look at? That give me just as much, or more, *punch* for my $$$$.
Thanks.
