As is shown by Macworld's tests, PS CS 3 runs slightly faster or the same on a G4. My Windows experience has been similar: the PS on my Windows desktop, now 4 years old, has happily accepted upgrades from PS 6 to PS 7 to PS CS1 without any slowdown or need to upgrade anything (I did double the memory to 2 GB some time last year, but that was just for convenience, so I could have more files open simultaneously).
