Use Photoshop CS5? You probably need RAM


Question

Posted

Just read a fairly interesting article on what benefits people more, an SSD upgrade or going from 4GB to 8GB of RAM. Well, I done got my socks knocked off on this one. I had figured an SSD + 4GB RAM would be about equal to 8GB of RAM. Well, I was completely and utterly wrong. Check this out, particularly you quartermasters office folks.

8 GB of RAM is so well utlized by Photoshop, it makes no difference what type of disk you have. Have only 4 GB? You need a faster HD. But, if you are looking for bang for the buck and you use Photoshop, go with 8 GB of RAM. It still will give you over twice the performance of an SSD.

Would require and update to Windows 7 - because XP and Vista can only hand 4GB RAM max.

I'm not one to buy Windows - ever. So it will wait! My 3GB of RAM will be fine for now ;)

Very interesting though - I would've never guessed that would've been the outcome. I am kinda 'meh' on SSD anyway, but damn those are HUGE differences in speed.

XP isn't, but there are plenty of Vista 64-bits out there. If your computer came with 4GB or higher, it has 64, if it came with less than, it has 32 and as such supports a maximum of 4GB total (including VRAM from the graphics card and physical RAM).
