Photoshop CS 2 performance on MBP

[elbirth]

Dang, so even with that extra RAM, it still chugs along? thats not very promising considering I want RAM mainly for PS. Surely it doesnt hurt, but yeah...Looks like we bare with it, cause there is little use in getting a PB G4 anymore..in my opinion.

While going from 1GB to 2GB of RAM gave me a really nice improvement in performance, yes it does still chug along with high resolution files. It's not nearly as bad with small stuff, but still painful if you're doing a lot of work.

And I agree, no point in buying PowerPC-based Mac anymore unless you need something immediately to run a program that's not universal yet.

don't bother using the macbook pro for photoshop, it's not worth it! I have 2Gs of ram, and it is still painfully slow....

Thanks for all your answers, looks like I won't be avoiding Boot Camp after all . But am sure all the other goodies will make up for that!

Less than an hour left to pick up my MBP!!

You'll love your MBP in just about every other way
If you do photography at all, I suggest Aperture. It has its fans and also has people that hate it... but I think it's prett cool for photo managament, and since it's Universal now it runs quite well.
