I specifically said more RAM might help, which is what you need to have multiple apps running at once. Go ahead and drop your RAM to 512mb and get two 50 inch screens. You will NOT be more productive.
I mostly do graphics. I have a macro that runs the 5 apps I need to do this. I do NOT feel the need to be able to SEE any but ONE app at a time. When I need to transfer files I use the taskbar. When I need to switch apps I may also use alt-tab. I suppose we could time the difference between how long it takes you to click a window and work in it, compared to me alt-tabbing to it. I doubt you save 10 seconds a day, if that much. And then there's my point of liking many of these windows maximized, like Photoshop. In that case, you're alt-tabbing also.
