[QUOTE="planck, post: 724299, member: 66869"] Yeah, before you ask I need this old machine to run a drum scanner with a scsi cable. I've tried upgrading the memory from 256mb to 610mb, but without any detectable difference in speed. I've checked on the system profile and the memory upgrade is showing. Files on photoshop are taking the same amount of time to open and save. 4 minutes to open a 79mb file, 1 minute to sharpen it No difference at all after the new memory goes in :( Am I being limited by the hard drive or something else?
