Sorry sir, please don't bar me from the list, but your formula had an error.
:)

I show 858 MB in Photoshop for a 250 DPI tiff @ 60" X 80" RGB.  You forgot
there are 1048576 bytes per megabyte.

The formula would be:

=((250DPI*80in)*(250DPI*60in)*(24bytes/8bytes))/1048576bytes = 858.3MB

Which my 1.5 GB of RAM should be able to handle.  Why limit it? Why make it
dependent on RAM?

You probably ran out of memory.  24-bit color images take 3 bytes
per pixel and 250 dpi 60 x 80 image is 60*250*3*80*250*3 = 2.7
GB.
