Photoshop Is Killing Me Pc

Will CS2 work smooth on 1 gb on ram, and an AMD Athlon X2 4200+?

 

I very highly doubt that but whatever. ^_^

 

I run ps with 256mb of sdram while running itunes, opera, gaim. No problem unless until I start working with large resolutions.

 

my ps2 stucks at least 2 times per Sig I make for about 2 minutes, gets on my nerves.... :censored:

 

The problem is the ram, you got too little of it. Upgrade it

 

My computer has 512, and I can run PS, WMP, Firefox, Trillian, and more fine.

 

Um....Yea its true.....I had the same problem with 512 (2x 256MB) and I remove one and PS ran more smoothly....not the same with CS 8.0, ran fine on 512

 

512 should be suffient for CS2 making sigs ( ihave 512 and the same processor as you)

i usually have firefox with lots of tabs open and it ends up taking 300MB+ of ram but CS2 takes about 100MB so it isnt a problem, and i never get laggy or frozen until i start opening like 30 files in CS2

and since you said it take 90-100% or something CPU, that means that something is wrong, it usually peaks at 10% for me on the same processor

 

ok ill break it down

256 or less - get CS
512 or above - get CS2

Cs2 drains your RAM - On mine i got AMD64 and 512 RAM still works quite good but there comes a point where it lags

I had CS2 on 256 and its killing it-lol so i put CS which is ok

 

NOw running 2 x 512 RAM and still the same so sumthing is going on with PS but ive uninstalled and reinstalled so WTF can it be.

 

yeah i ran it with 256 then i got 512 it ran fine both times...

 

eh, i create http://www.deviantart.com/view/26586648/ 600+ layers on a emachines with 256mb ram, intel celeron 2.6ghz proccesor with opera open and msn. The ram definatley isn't the problem, theres something else wrong

 

mines run perfectly on 512mb but with the minor lock ups but it usually comes back on though your comp might be getting owned by spyware.

 

of course.

CS2 will NOT run well on 256 or 512mb of ram as it uses around 320mb ram.

 

Well CS2 is working fine for me with Corsair 512 XMS Gona get 1 more stick

Thats gona cost-lol especially the CPU
