At the moment I am dealing with very large Photoshop CS2 files, like 650MB, large intrinsic size, many layers, masks etc and my G4/400 is really struggling, taking typically 5 minutes for a save. Long times are spent with disk swapping and something like 2GB is swallowed up by system and photoshop swap files. I have 1.3GB RAM and stacks of free disk space. I realise that I really need more processor grunt but wonder if the modest investment in bringing the RAM up to the maximum 2GB will be a significant help. Can anyone advise on this. Alternatively, of course if anyone has a DP G5 that is not wanted I will happily accept it as a gift!
Thanks in advance, for the advice anyway, I live in hopes for the G5.
