P3 and Photoshop

Anybody else out there running Photoshop 7 on a Pentium 3 or less?

I would be interested in hearing how your performance is and your PC configuration. I am trying to decide whether a P3 could do the job for a couple of years still.

Right now, it is not good. I tried to muck around with a 300 dpi 10×10 image and got nothing but the dreaded hourglass. I do not want to see that hourglass. I want realtime editing.

thanks

so it is pretty safe to say. Go nuts on the ram. I think my mobo only goes up to 768 megs.

Any favourites for what type to use? Crucial, Kingston etc.

thanks

I run PS7 on a P3 850Mhz and a AMD 2.5 Ghz. Slight performance difference. The real boost is each has a Gig of Ram. I found anything from 512 down dragged like a dog. Dave

you didn’t specify your computer at all other than to say it is a P3 so it is hard to recommend but I use a P3 700 laptop with 416 meg which runs but doesn’t run very fast.
