I use PhotoShop a lot and upgrading to a quicker processor will help, but memory is your best bet. New video cards will not help PS speed,as they are designed for 3D acceleration (totally different from 2D). You should install the largest amount of memory your motherboard will hold. 256 meg is not much for PS and Win98 really sucks at memory management. I ran 98SE and saw a big difference when I switched to 2000 (not really speed increase, but definite stability improvements) .

Macs are nice, but talk about over-rated and overpriced! I am now running a dual PIII 933 with 1 Gig of RDRAM that I built last year for around $1200 (at the time a comparable G4 was around $5G). I would put it up against any G4, but I still salivate when I see that 23" flat screen display. . .

My machine is maxed out at 256 megs -- if it could take more, I would have gotten more. So you think Windoze 2K is worth it, in that it will make a noticeable difference? I really appreciate the insight from someone who uses Photoshop!

I've been using a 22" Apple Cinema Display for several months. It's a real eye-catcher and it'll spoil you quick, that's for sure.
