Just looked at Photoshop CS3 on Amazon.com, and the reviews suggest it's buggy and doesn't allow for compatibility from earlier programs. As I'm looking to use the internet as a source for tutorials, I figure that's important.

Most tutorials, unless they are specific to CS3 / 2 should be pretty generic for all versions.

However, when I checked out the reviews for Photoshop CS2 on Amazon, one suggested I'd need a lot of RAM to work with it - at least 1GB, preferably 2GB RAM. That's a warning flag, because it would be installed on my girlfriend's PC, and that's a 512MB machine.

I wouldn't recommend running
any image editor on less than 1Gb RAM.

My main interest is to produce those nice mirror reflected logos and rounded two-tone buttons you see on a lot of Web 2.0 or aspiring Web 2.0 websites.

With a little practice, you can do that on any image editor. Why not use the Gimp? It's free and does most things Photoshop can do.

I don't suppose that effect is available in Photoshop Elements?

Possibly, but unlikely I would think.
Go Gimp!... There's no need to blow hundreds of quids if you're not using it professionally -
