Digital BW, The Print

I currently process 140Mo pictures often 300,  I have an AthlonXP Barton 2600 boosted a bit, PS-CS, 1.5Go ram, bus 400.
Install PS on a separate hard drive from Windows and check how much ram you devote to PS.

  I scan in 4x5 negatives at 4800 dpi, 16-bit grayscale,
  and am having a tough (read: slow) time of it with
  Photoshop 6.0 with the resulting files.  Actually, I
  can't even work with the 50-90 mg .jpeg's, but instead
  downsize to roughly 12 megapixels and then
  dodge/burn/tweak those.  Does anyone here work with
  digital files around 50-90 megs in Photoshop that is
  happy with the quickness of their setup in doing so? 
  Right now, with the machine I have, manipulating such
  files is impossible.

  My machine is an Athlon XP 1.46 Ghz with 1 gig of DDR
  RAM.  Two possible bottlenecks from what I know are
  memory bus speed (333 Mhz with my current motherboard)
  and also the version of PS I'm using.  CS might be
  faster from the get-go?

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt
