64 bit PS is much faster and will better use memory compared to 32 bit.
I'm running Win 7 with 16 gigs of ram and have 64 bit CS5.1 set to use
10 gigs - which leaves 6 gigs for the OS and other stuff. The most I can
set 32 bit PS to is 3 gigs. Aside from memory usage and avoiding
swapping, the 64 bit versions are much faster. I first used 64 bit CS-3
on Win XP-x64 with only 4 gigs of ram. There was not much more ram for
the 64 bit version of PS (both effectively could access about 3 gigs)
but the 64 bit version still ran circles around the 32 bit version.
I guess that is why they keep adding more bits....

Got to thinking about something & figured someone here would know the
answer.
My PhotoshopCS5 that I will migrate to the new system is 32bit. I will
be running 64bit Windoze7 on the new box to take advantage of the
maximum memory.
Should I be worried? Will 32 bit PhotoshopCS5 be able to benefit from
the additional memory?
