Will this run PS?


After my last computer got cooked by lightning I had to order a new one because I didn't really feel like going through the effort of building my own again. I'm just wondering if this system will run PS nicely, specifically the video card, or if it will need any upgrades. I realize that a ATI 9700 would be a better choice, but I'm not sure if I can get it within a decent period of time. If someone with the 5600 FX could tell me how it performs with PS that would help greatly, as would any other advice regarding any of the components. You're input will be much appreciated

Now realize I chose the small one for a reason since I will be carrying it back and forth from college rather frequently, nearly every weekend in fact, and I felt something more powerful than a laptop but not quite as big as a standard tower would be in order, something I could fit in a backpack. There's my explanation on the small form factor, since many people seem to be curious as to why I'd get that as opposed to a regular tower
