The following is predicated on the assumption that your wife is as much into photography as you are into your Porsche:

A 8 megapix photo in raw format could push 20 MB file size. As cheap as hard drives are today, go for a bigger drive. And make sure it is serial ATA. Moving that kind of data around, she will need it. And, IMHO, you are very light on RAM. 1 GB at a minimum. The video card will actually be the most imprtant and potentially most expensive part of the system for her. A basic 128 MB card won't cut it. There are cards made for picture manipulation.

Serious photography is probably the one place where you really can't have too much computer.
