This would mean that you'd have to double-check all your software to ensure it runs in Windows7, or at least in some kind of XP compatibility mode.

64 bit Operating Systems support upto 128 gb of RAM. Although its a laptop mentioned here, you'll struggle to get more then 4 gigs of ram in. IMO OP is better off with a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9600 instead of a laptop based i7 processor. This is due to that there are still many programs out there that can't handle 4 core processors. They also use less power but still provide excellent performance. Id also suggest a good GFX card, since its the GFX card that handles the graphics the most. A 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280m will make your image processing a piece of cake.
