Photoshop is one of those programs that doesn't like VM. It has its own virtual-memory scheme which will conflict with system VM. -- D.F. Manno [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not quite sure if this is right in respect to PS? Is there any stated info
by Adobe that there is any actual conflict? PS likes you to have a scratch
disk different to the vol on which VM is and also (btw) different to the one
which has any large files you are editing.

I'm not sure if Photoshop has a conflict with VM or not. I think someone on this thread said it does interfere with PShops memory management.
For the record, PS works fine with VM; in the sense that it works fine like any other memory hungry app works with VM, that is to say, slowly. On very full HDD's VM willlinterfere in that PS will run out of scratch space; but you can specify the disk to put PS'es scratch space on in the preferences.
I know on my 9600 with 544 MB RAM that Premiere always senses if it is on and wants it off for best performance. And video captured with it on is very glitchy. Dropped frames etc.
Video capture is one of those applications where there is absolutely no substitute for real RAM.
When I had little RAM and was using PShop for pic processing I ran VM and it slowed the actions to a crawl You can never have too much RAM ,
processor speed or hard drive space.
