In my Mac Pro Dual Core 2.66 I currently have 4Gb RAM and the machine is nice and responsive. I personally am of the opinion that you can never have too much RAM, especially for working on images. :-) Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Ampolsk" <bampolsk@mac.com> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 3:00 PM Subject: [Leica] PhotoShop Elements 4.0 on iMac > I'm using PhotoShop Elements 4.0 on my iMac Intel Dual Core running at > 2.16 GHz.
