Hi I am having a problem with Photoshop CS3.
When it uses up its assigned memory it freezes for minutes (ranging from about 1 to 5 or more). I have assigned PS to use 60% of ram memory which is about 1190MB. When its memory usage reaches this level it gets stuck (i get a beach ball for a very long time).
I usually have bridge open at the same time but it happens even when it is the only app open.
BTW, what is the optimal cache level and assigned ram % to use? Keep in mind that I have 2GB of ram. Also, by using an external HDD as scratch disk would it increase PS performance significantly
Thanks for your kind answers..
