I'd recommend at least 2 GB RAM if you're going to be doing much in
Photoshop. I have a dual processor G4/1.4 GHz machine and boy with 2
GB of RAM and both scanning and editing 16 bit images...well...it uses
ALL the memory.

I'm hoping that Photoshop lifts it's RAM footprint limit in the next
version - that alone would be worth an upgrade.

When the G5 hits 3 GHz I'm upgrading!
