Hi,
i would like to ask about available memory for photoshop (CS3)
i was able finally manage to get one and currently having XP, was thinking about some upgrade. I was trying to avoid vista because of negative reviews, but would love to have more memory available for photoshop.
Currently i have: Intel celeron 1,6 Ghz with 2 GB RAM and Windows XP.
I can get Vista SP1 64bit or Windows XP 64bit and another 2 GB RAM for about 200Eur .

Now question, how much memory I will have available for photoshop and in Windows (NX2 and Photosop at the same time running) in XP 32bit, XP 64bit, Vista 64bit?

At this moment i am using all memory most of the time and need to clear image cache really often.
Thank You!

All Windows will allow you to use up to 4Gb of RAM. If you use a 64-bit Windows, you can access twice that much.

If you buy CS4 and run it on a 64-bit version of Windows you will get even more benefit since CS4 has native 64-bit programs.
