I'm not familiar with Mac's but there should be some system monitoring utility you can bring up, and watch the amount of ram CS3 consumes, along with the size of your pagefile (I think Mac's use them too?). If it's pushing to the max of the ram, more should help. ECGphotography.com

Apr 16, 2007 17:52 | #7 I don't have any problems either, it's just that when I'm editing a few hundred pics at a time it takes a while to work through them all "The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life" - William Faulkner -

More ram by itself will do nothing to improve performance. If you are paging then more memory will most definitely help as disk memory is so much slower than chip memory. If you’re not paging then more ram will do nothing. But 1 meg on a modern machine is not all that much and if you have more than a few applications open odds are your paging up a storm. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
