[QUOTE="mac57, post: 296815, member: 17052"] I have a PowerMac G5 with 2.5G of RAM. I use MenuMeters to monitor, among other things, memory usage. I can tell you that with Photoshop CS2, Safari, Thunderbird, Finder and a few other sundry apps open, plus a full slate of Dashboard widgets running, my machine has never used up the full 2.5G of RAM I have. I have never seen it exceed 2G to be perfectly honest. SO, my *guess* is that you would do just fine with 2G. 3G is probably unnecessary, and Apple does charge a pretty penny for the extra 1G.
