"low" RAM?

[Donald Hinkle]

I had a friend order a new iMac from smalldog.com. She got it and asked 
me to come set it up since she and her husband claim to have no 
abilities in that line. I set it up and it's nice, BUT, altho she told 
the smalldog person she was going to use it mainly for Photoshop, they 
sold it with only 256MB RAM. I thought they'd insist on at least 512. 
We tried to phone smalldog, but they were too busy to answer. She also 
bought a photo quality printer and v.g. scanner from them.

One, can she limp along in 10.2.7 with 256 if she runs only Photoshop 
when editing her photos?
If it turns out she needs the extra 256 (or more), is installation in 
the flatpanel simple enough that I--who have only rarely installed RAM 
in other Macs--can do it?
thanks,
