some programs can have ram settings done within their own preferences.
Photoshop is the only example that I know of personally... and is a
good idea (or so I've been told by a TAFE CG lecturer) to set it to
about 75% of total memory - and can vouch for it significantly
speeding up Photoshop and cutting back on it's scratch disk access.
Though probably in this case Photoshop is creating something like
it's own, hidden, RAM scratch disk rather than actually grabbing the
memory for the application its self.
You've answered your own question quite correctly.

Hi guys,
How does one increase the RAM allocation for a program running in
system 10.3? Or is it no longer needed?
Thanks,
