Canon 5 d Mark II, the Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.4

All,

I know it must have been answered elsewhere, but I have not found what I'm looking for.

I bought a new Canon 5 d Mark II camera that will happen Wednesday.  To the extent the software on my Mac Pro, I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, which includes (obviously) of Photoshop CS3.  I am also running Lightroom 2.4.  I heard to open the 5 d Mark II RAW files, you must have Adobe Camera Raw 5.X, which is not supported by Photoshop CS3.  I also understand that Lightroom 2.4 CAN open the 5 d Mark II RAW files.  First of all, both of my statements are at this point?  If so, I can use Lightroom to open the RAW files, making some setting I would like in Lightroom, then export the modified file (in TIFF, for example) in Photoshop CS3 and go on my way?  Or it won't work?

If the answer is no, what are my options for the software I have with my Canon 5 d Mark II?  Am I, now, TO upgrade to Photoshop CS4?  If so, can I buy CS4 Design Premium update, if my CS3 Design Premium is the version of education?

Thanks for any help on this... I hope to avoid spending more money that I need software just to be able to process images of my new camera.  I'm sure I could always use the supplied Canon software to open the RAW files, but I prefer to do programs in the Adobe family.

Lightroom 2.4 will deal with the EOS 5 d Mark II RAW files.  And Yes, after doing all your editing your RAW files in LR, you can export it to TiFF, PSD or JPEG format and open and work on it in Photoshop CS3.

I hope this helps.
