Thanks for this tutorial.Definately made CS4 run faster
Hi Roman,
Yes it does. It matters a lot. And the answer is always use an empty or near empty HD. A full HD (with less than 10% fee space) is very very very very slow. I can’t stress this enough. Use an HD that’s 40% full at most. HDs slow down the more full they get.
wow thanks
in xp or vista click edit then preferences
Cool ty ;D
Hi Marcus,
If you’re sure you have more than 3GB of RAM, then just set the allocation to 100% and you’ll be ok.
i have as much RAM as you but in photoshop cs4 i says Available RAM: 1648 MB? s:
awesome video
Hi Jay,
The video was recorded on a Mac but the steps are all the same for the PC (the preferences can be found under the Edit menu on the PC)
Is this just for Macs?
Thanks man! Actually I’m going to get more RAM for my comp overall, then photoshop will work, but thanks anyway!
Hi Wolf,
With 1696mb, I’d recommend setting the RAM allocation to 85-90%. Having a separate harddrive for the scratch disk would benefit you greatly.
What if I have of only 1696 available RAM?
