I have an XP SP3 system with quad power and 4gb ram at present.
I found this in Memory allocation and usage (Photoshop CS2)
If you have more than 4 GB (to 6 GB (Windows) or 8 GB (Mac OS)), the RAM above 4 GB is used by the operating system as a cache for the Photoshop scratch disk data. Data that previously was written directly to the hard disk by Photoshop, is now cached in this high RAM before being written to the hard disk by the operating system. If you are working with files large enough to take advantage of these extra 2 GB of RAM, the RAM cache can speed performance of Photoshop.
This seems to refer to 64 bit but I was told it applied to 32 bit and 8gb. Is any of this true for 32 bit XP?
Thanks,
RON C
