Fox or bengal could probably chime in on this better than myself, but I'm assuming if he's using Premiere CS4 he'd want the quad core. If he's only planning on using Photoshop (and the other programs in the suite) he could probably get away with the dual core.

What whiz mentioned is pretty much what should be looked at. Also note that Photoshop CS4 is capable of improving the performance of filters via GPU rendering (openGL), so that's another thing to keep in mind.

Plus you only need 4gb+ of ram if you are going to use a 64bit operating system. Else 3gb is the max amount of ram a 32bit system can address.
