Digital BW, The Print

Ken,

I just upgraded from 2GB to 4GB, because I was fed up with PS only being 
able to use about 50% of the 2GB before plugins etc stopped working for lack 
of memory. Now I can use PS at 90%, but my 4GB of RAM (on a PC) is not all 
available to programs. Nearly 0.5GB is reserved for system use, so PS can 
only see 1.7GB (half of 3.5GB). But if I am opening files in CApture and 
then transferring to PS, I don't have to close Capture any more to keep PS 
up to speed.

Bob Frost.

Thanks much for the information.  If it is correct that XP will assign up to
2gb of ram to Photoshop, then it appears that 4gb total is indicated.  2 gb
would preserve the speed, per your explanation, but result in less than 2 gb
being assigned to Photoshop.  (My question was probably OT, but I'm
constantly impressed with the amount of practical knowledge here.)
