Hi all,

I use PS CS2 for photography purposes. I sometimes work with really big files (250mb-1.5gb). I have a 3000+ 64-bit AMD processor, 2x512mb of ram, and a real fast video card (for my brothers games).

I was thinking of adding another gig of ram, but my cousin told me to buy a small SCSI hard drive with really high rpm instead. He said to install PS on that drive and transfer the files onto the drive and work with them directly off it. Then transfer them back to my Lacie external drive after.

Any opinions on what would be better. They cost almost the same for me.

More hard drives are always good because PS can use excess hard drive space as memory.
