The CS3 release of Dreamweaver is very first release of the product since adobe's takeover of the program which was originally from Macromedia.

The features that make the CS3 version of Dreamweaver better and more efficient than that of the previous releases include spry framework for ajax, spry widgets, spry effects, better photoshop CS3 integration, browser compatibility check, adobe CSS advisor, better handling of CSS Layouts, easier to manage CSS, adobe device central, adobe bridge CS3.

So not only does this release work more effienciently, it even looks like and feels like adobe's photoshop program and provides an easy way for the two to work in conjuction with each other. This important especially if you are looking to be developing images, backgrounds, or what have you alongside your html and css work.

Although if you are going to use these two together - 1 GB of ram is suggested. Dreamweaver CS3 is heavy enough on the 512 mb of ram minimum to start with.
