Never really used Aperture always just used Photoshop CS, is there anything more I can achieve in Aperture that I can't already in CS 5.5?
They're different kinds of products.  CS is for image editing. Aperture is for cataloging (or 'Workflow').  That said the image editing features of Aperture are pretty advanced.

If money wasn't an issue you'd probably want both.

Just stuck a copy on an old MacBook, looks ok really, installed the Photomatix HDR Plugin as that's all I would really use. Keeps making Aperture quick, probably something to do with the 1.5GB of Rm haha!

Will try it out on the real machine tonight :D

Anything less than 4GB RAM and Aperture is crap. Its ok if Aperture is all you are doing, but if you are cataloguing, exporting, uploading to Flickr etc, you just cant do anything else with it.

Aperture has very very good RAW editing capabilites and is a library of images compared to PS being an editor

I have an iMac and run Aperture 3, Iphoto and Lightroom 3

I put all into iphoto and then process in aperture or Lightroom. Overall I do think lightroom has the edge with noise reduction and perhaps a touch more professional. But Aperture integrates far easier

Aperture 3 would be my choice with an iMac.

They are power hungry with 16GB of ram and an i7 speed is more than okay. Crucial memory is the answer for cheap RAM
