On Adobe's website it says a minimum of 2GHz is required to run the CS4 Suite. Will the processor on the DV7T Quad (1.6GHz) be able to run the CS4 Suite? Also should I get more than 4GB in memory since I will be running Windows 7 64bit?

Dell Studio 17
Operating system: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit
Processor:Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Quad Core Processor @ 1.6GHz (2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB Cache)
Memory:4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz
Hard drive:500GB SATA HDD (7200rpm)
Graphics card:1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650
Display:17.3” HD+ (900p) Bright LED Display with TrueLife™ and Camera
On the Dell laptop I have the option to get "4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz" of what Dell is calling Performance Memory. Should I get this? What is it used for?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
