It's hard to tell since I don't have Photoshop for the PC anymore, but 3D Studio Max 2009 runs like a dream with 10 gig of ram! Just an update, I installed Vista 64 Bit using Bootcamp.

The machine I was comparing it to was pretty well matched actually. Here is the specs. Old Machine Dell XPS Quad Core 2.6 GHZ 4 GIG o-RAM Intel Board (I think) Similar Video Card to my Mac Only big difference is the fact that the Mac has an extra 4 CPU's... which really doesn't do much for most of Photoshop, except a few filters that might be able to access the other CPU's. But over all it's much snappier on my Mac. I will do a test for you, I'll install Vista on bootcamp with the exact same machine, and then run Pshop in it just for giggles... I'll post here if I get time. Thank you for your feedback. The machine I was comparing it to was pretty well matched actually. Here is the specs.

Only big difference is the fact that the Mac has an extra 4 CPU’s… which really doesn’t do much for most of Photoshop, except a few filters that might be able to access the other CPU’s.

'cause as i see it, you just have a crappy pc with 4 GB of ram.
