How to handle 1gig - 2gig images

Hi all.

In my company we run some adverts and i'm in charge of making them.
Now one of our main product companys (Pioneer) Sent me some new images for there in products... Some of the images are 1gig and 2gig in size. We are not a multi media/graphics company and dont have massive PC's to handle this size graphics.. My PC as it is is the best in the companys for the graphics reason,

I've talked to the IT guys and they want me to try find out what spec of PC would be needed to open and edit these images with not to much lag.

It's rare we get images in of this size. Normally they are 100MB-200MB in size.

So guys do i need a monster of a machine to open these... My company wont spend massive loads of money on a new PC for me. So whats my choices

Is it all about the RAM/Processor?

Any info would be great
thanks.
