depending on what you do on the adobe programs as it'll make a difference, does wine work with CS3? maybe that might be better.

CS3 support is not very good under wine: http://wiki.winehq.org/AdobePhotoshop

It's a pretty fair system, I believe the "performance hit" wouldn't be that much. Unless of course if by "all of the adobe programs" you also mean something like Adobe Premiere and you do "hardcore" video rendering. But if that was the case you wouldn't be using a laptop...

Also have you tried the software available with Ubuntu? Try Gimp for image editing for instance, should take a bit of habituation for an Adobe Photoshop user but that program is pretty good for image editing.

no video editing for me, just illustrator, dreamweaver,photoshop,flash, and some other graphic program, im going to study graphic design in college so i think virtualbox would give me the best compatibility for any program that college might ask for. i dont use gimp because i use lots of plugins for photoshop.
