Almost as much as you throw at it, it has much better capability to utilize memory.Does anyone know how much RAM adobe photoshop CS5 will use when running on a MAC?
Doug,I dunno but one thing for sure, I won't be paying these jerks $199 just to upgrade.
Well, I went with the whole suite for CS4, so I've got the $900 upgrade comingWell, I for one will be upgrading, no question. Only question is do I upgrade to the regular, or the extended, or just buy the whole darn suite!
I guess that is the part that I don't really understand. Is there no way that Adobe will roll individual product licenses into a suite upgrade?Guy,
$849 is correct....and I have In Design and PS CS4.
Just started the download now....2.4 gb

The Optimizing Photoshop CS5 section that Lloyd Chambers (diglloyd) has just added to his Mac Performance Guide has graphs of memory usage on different Macintosh models. Well worth reading for anyone wondering about whether to upgrade. (Warning: you may need to factor in the price of extra RAM to take full advantage of the upgrade.)While some folks have been talking about CS5, and it is coming very soon, there does not seem to be much data or tests over its performance on different Macs at this point. I am sure just running it in 64-bit on Snow Leopard with a normal 7200rpm HDD and 4GB of RAM will probably work quite nicely. Sorry not to have more concrete data, but just suggesting we may have to start rethinking things and figuring out what apps are more drive intensive or RAM intensive, or that can truly take advantage of both, as not all can or do, and how things pass into and out of the CPU will matter also.
