You can install 4G, but XP won't see more than ... 3.2G? ... of it. Even on 64 bit XP/Vista, Huh? Simply not true. Covered many times on this list. Please read the links to the Microsoft Windows Hardware Developer Center (WHDC) posted previously Photoshop CS3 won't use more than 4G for images, and 2G for cache. Photoshop is a user more application. All user mode applications, on 32bit Windows, see 4GB of virtual address space. That is regardless of whether there is 1GB of RAM in the machine, 256MB of RAMin the machine or 500000GB of RAM in the machine Cheers Ken ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
