[X4U] Macpro processor choice

[Brett Conlon]

Is that 20 to 100MB files "saved" or when "open" in Photoshop?

Either way they are kinda small files but a 100MB file can easily be 
hundreds of MB in RAM/scratch when it is highly layered.

Do you have many open at the same time? Perhaps the 2GB model might be 
adequate for your needs.

We work on very large files here (scratch sizes are sometimes between 2 
and 3GB in size so lotsa RAM really helps us).

Cheers,

Coj

Re: [X4U] Macpro processor choice






Thanks to  all for your thoughts. My current G4 has 1.5 gigs of RAM. 
At this point I am thinking about going for the extra RAM. The Mac 
Pro has 8 ram slots so the listed configuration from Apple is to use 
4 of those for the 2 gig model. That leaves 4 empty slots. I am 
thinking when CS3 hits the machine I'll get a big bounce in efficiency.

Currently I work on files that range from 20 megs to 100 megs.
