True...I use one partition for all my drives and have for awhile. But yeah, they're your basic 7200 IDE drives...my system after all *is* 4 years old. As I said, I don't *expect* Photoshop to scream on it. I know I'm going to have to sit and wait for a minute for it to load...can't say I see any difference using CS3 either. It takes almost as long to load and doesn't even have all my filters and actions installed. The beta I was running crashed pretty frequently so I didn't do a whole lot with it anyway. Maybe throwing another gig of memory on the system would make a difference...but I doubt it would make enough of one to warrant the expense, just to hang in there until I can upgrade my entire system. For now, I'll just keep rebooting and shutting down everything I can everytime I want to do any work in PS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by AdobeĀ® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
