Photoshop wants RAM 3 times the amount of the file size to be able to keep your last moves in memory while you work as well as the current info. Now is a great time to buy as much RAM as you can afford. There are other things you can do to make your machine deal easily with your Photoshop files such as upgrading to 9.1, the most current version of PS and a G4 card to take advantage of the newer versions of PS's use of the Altivec drivers. That will not only speed up the process but enable you to deal with those sizes without losing all your work and time. dan_A -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
