I currently use CS2, and am considering upgrading to CS3. I have 3 Gigs RAM and CS2 will recognize 2 Gigs. My OS is XP home, and the question I have is will CS3 recognize 3 Gigs of RAM without going to a 64 bit OS? I tried Adobe support, and was not sure of their answer as it was from a far off place and I don't think they understood my question. Thanks, Patrick

FWIW I've always answered my Adobe questions via a google search and not via Adobe support. Sometimes the search results point me to an Adobe forum but more often than not, questions like OS issues are often posted on tech forums and the like. I tried Adobe support, and was not sure of their answer as it was from a far off place and I don't think they understood my question.

Patrick, I don't think so. This link, http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-6146229-7.html is a Blog note from CNet about PS CS 3 NOT being a 64 bit app. It was written back in Dec 06 so things could have changed by now. This link, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=320005 is a tech paper from Adobe talking about memory allotment for PC's and Mac's. It seems that the issue of using more RAM in PS is an OS issue, not a Photoshop one. Good luck, Alan

I am about to buy CS3 for my mac... and I am wondering how I can load it into two computers the first one being my working computer and the second is my print server. thanks in advance and I hope this is not tooo000 far off topic. Larry

Since the release of CS (v1) on Macs Adobe has instituted a software activation routine. The single user license allows for two installs since many users will have a desktop and a laptop. So you can install CS3 on two machines. Once activated on both, you cannot install PS on another machine unless you A) purchase another serial number or B) first deactivate one of your current installs.

Larry, Should not be a problem to load CS3 on two computers as long as they are both MAC. If one is a MAC and one a PC then you need two copies? Paul

Yes....but.... You need to use the /3GB "switch" in Win/XP. I have 4GB, but Win/XP only recognizes ~3GB (I have actually set is at 2944MB, as I have a lot of v-ram) as the upper ~1GB is used for drivers, video ram, etc. I am not sure what you will get with 3GB in your system, but I suspect most of it. The "but" is that it is processor dependent whether it will work...at least with CS3. I have a AMD Athlon 2x64 (dual core). The CS3 forums have many Intel dual core guy saying it is not working with CS3, but did with CS2. Be careful when you set it up. Include the existing line from your 'boot.ini' along with the new one with the /3GB info. That way if the new line does not work you can reboot with the "other OS".

I don't think the "3 Gig switch" will work with XP Home, only with Xp Pro is what I've heard. Alan

Alan, I think you are correct. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx says the /3GB switch was added to XP Pro, but only works with programs that know how to use the extra 1GB, not all programs. You may also have to use another switch in your boot.ini - /userva=2900 - which restricts the memory to 2900 instead of 3000, because some video drivers won't fit into the 1GB left. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316739 My nVidia driver won't load with just /3GB but when I added /userva=2900 it ran just fine. Bob Frost. PS You shouldn't use the /3GB switch if you have more than 16GB RAM apparently! I doubt that affects many of us!!

There is a lot of confusion about the /3 GB switch and XP Home! This switch can work with XP Home (not guaranteed, anymore than it is with XP Pro). I discovered the switch is supported by XP Home a few weeks ago. I have been using it without problems on my Dell Dimension 8400 with 4 GB of RAM. I get around 2.6 GB virtual memory available to user applications with it on, about 1.7 GB with it off. I am also using the 'fine tuning' switch /userva with the /3GB switch. You can get details in the DPreview, PC Talk forum.

Thanks to all that replied, I will be working this nite on the issue and from what I picked up on the link provided by Kenseidman and others it will work (think +).
