Has anyone upgraded from 1GB to 2GB of RAM and found there to be much of a difference? I'm considering it, and since it's so cheap I probably will, but i'd like to hear from anyone who's made the same jump.

When I bought my new machine I went right to 3 gigs (more than CS2 can handle, but now I have CS2 getting 2GB of it's own. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Right now Photoshop's sitting on 500MB RAM used, the PC is using 950MB out of the 1GB I have.

I've let it take up to 1.5GB of RAM, and yep, it takes all it can get!
