Waiting For My Mac Pro

[iSavant]

easy beans, you'll see...

line 'em up well and make sure they seat all the way down until the side latches snap closed.

Your 2 GB dimms are to be located in the inner (towards motherboard) two slots of each riser card (A1,A2,B1,B2)

The original two 512 MB dimms were removed from A1, A2... put them in A3,A4

Where To Put RAM In MacPros

For Everyone: Follow this chart to make sure you put the RAM in the correct slots for maximum speed for any combination of sticks. As you can see, iSavant's directions are correct.

Yes, I noticed that with Photoshop CS3 on Leopard. Nothing is listed on Adobe's support page, though. Is this a bug they know about, and do you know of any plans to fix these problems?

Thanks,
Martin

I believe the latest I have read up on, That it will be corrected in the 10.5.2 update, and not a photoshop update.

I read an article today that said that PS CS 3 needs 3 GB of RAM to run and that is absolute minimum. If multi tasking one needs more RAM and I have no idea how much would be needed for keeping email and a browser open at the same time as running the editing software. I think I am going to upgrade the RAM before I even get the computer. Any thoughts. I am running the old CS at this time.

Well it will run on 1GB, but 3GB will give your plenty of ram for the system and photoshop. If your going with 8/9 gigs of ram, there is a patch for photoshop on adobe.com that will address the 2.5GB limit for 32bit apps, it uses memory outside of photoshop somehow, or you can use a ramdisk for your scratch for huge files. And you mentioned running CS currently, you will want to get CS3 for sure (try the trial it flies on intel's!)

Macroom, I just looked at your chart on the new MacPro. Discovered the magnifying glass and I could actually see the numbers. Now I need one for a couple of my Nikons!
