Just over 1GB?  My layered master files are very often 2-3GB each,  
and my mentor
Charles Cramer's, with typically 50 layers on, can be over 5GB!

Buy a Mac Pro with 32GB RAM and a dedicated RAID 0 (Stripped)  
Photoshop scratch
disk and you will have no problems working on files these big.  Wow I  
am just kidding
since Photoshop does not allocate more than 4GB memory on a 32-bit  
machine.  A
Mac Pro with 8GB RAM ($350 now a days) would be adequate.
