How do you use the third gig of RAM since PS will only use two?  Does PS get the whole two gigs and system and other applications go to the third or do you have it configured as the first swap drive?

  Good tip. Many PS geeks prefer FAT32 because it's somewhat faster. But I
  don't find the speed difference particularly noticeable, although I haven't
  benchmarked it. If I have to run a benchmark to detect it, then I don't care
  about the difference. And now that I do big panos, and have three gigs of
  RAM, a 4GB swap file isn't of much use.
