Just wondering about those, lucky, people who may have multi Gig 
this, that and the other top-o-line current model computers feel it's 
worth it?

Does the computer really work faster with large photoshop images?
Do you end up dedicating the 'lesser' computer to the printer & 
scanner?

For anything other than photoshop I wouldn't consider it...but in the 
back of my mind I'm wondering if your supercharger won't beat my v-8?


Thanks,

IMHO it's all about RAM.

I've got a pretty nice system - was top of the line about two years
ago. Needless to say, Apple's current crop of G4s blow mine out of the
water. But having my RAM maxxed out seems to matter more to Photoshop
than raw processor speed anyway.

So, I mean, if you're using a slow G3 or something like that, you'd
definitely see a huge speed improvement on a current dual-proc G4, but
if you have a one or two year old machine and can add another 512MB or
1GB of RAM to it, you'd probably see enough speed improvement to
satisfy you 'till the G5s arrive :)
