I use cs 8.0 as the cs2 isn't any different at all so whats the point, I don't think I get lag either only when I have got like 20 different programs running at once. Also when the program is on but I am not using it for a while then when I switch back onto it it lags like hell for maybe 20 seconds then its ok.
I use Photoshop 7 but I have CS on a different computer. I've used both and there's something different about CS that I can't get used to. Also I don't see any vast improvements on it so I just stick with 7 and I've never had any problems.
I currently use PS 7.0 which runs ok on my laptop(1.5ghz Celeron with 256mb ram ;( ) . It runs a lot better and loads up faster on my bros 2.4 GHz P4 desktop.
Lol you would buy PS. You should start a poll. How many ppl actually bought PS? I use CS2 it seems laggy, but I don't want to mess around and get 8.0
