this is not quite correct. when using winXP pro and CS2, there's a way to get PS to use almost 3gb of memory. With 4gb of ram installed you'd set a "switch" in the boot.ini file that reads /3gb. Photoshop will then make use of about 2.7gb of ram, the rest going to other programs and the OS. No,

Let me try to improve the clarity of my request: Can anyone recommend sources of information (i.e., online review sites) that review computer products from a photo-editing perspective? For example, I don't care so much about fast refresh time in a flat-panel monitor; I'm much more interested in c

More memory than a current version of Windows can use most of us can not afford. Photoshop however, in the Windows version, can only use 2 gb max. So if you only run Photoshop 2 gb is the limit. However if you run Photoshop and something else at the same time maybe you could use more memory tha

there's a limit on how much memory ps and windows can use. depends in great part on which os is used. getting more memory than the os and ps can use is pissing money away. Shel > I'm interested in getting computer/monitor recommendations that are > aimed at photo editing functions (e.g., "w
