If you have 4gb of RAM, Photoshop may only handle up to 2gb but when you have InDesign open (128mb minimum to run) and the OS (anywhere between 50mb and 256 or higher mb) then open Illustrator and crunch a 300mb file, I think you will see the benefits of having as much RAM as possible. So by having the space for 8gb RAM you allow yourself to play with 600mb files in Photoshop while listening to iTunes on your headphones and creating a 64 page 7/color catalog in InDesgin all at the same time and never see a slow down :lol: :lol: :lol:
