I won't bore everyone with the details. That's only talking about the first megabyte of memory anyway. Your utility is reporting 256 megabytes of memory. That's really inadequate to do much with these days, even without Photoshop, Windows itself is quite sluggish on that. The age of your computer's motherboard chipset will dictate what memory type and how much you can install. As you would know RAM modules designs and speeds have changed frequently as computers evolved. You may find that it is difficult or uneconomical to add more memory to an older system.

Is there an easy way for me to determine the memory size in my Gateway desktop PC? I used command.com and typed "mem" and seemed to get an answer that I have 640k in memory and 1024 in extended memory, but a utility that I just tried (SpeedUpMyPC) seems to be telling me that I have only 256mb(!). That would certainly explain why PD CS is slow. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com http://400tx.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
