dual g5 2ghz 3gb ram
Hi,

ive had my g5 now for about a year, its a dual 2ghz, with 1.5gb ram, im struggling with some bits and pieces, expecialy running a few programs at one, email, itunes, photoshop, word, flash etc... would more ram give a noticeable improvement or is my processor speed letting me down?

how much ram to do you have?

Many Thanks!

:)

i dont have no mac's
2.5gigs here on my dual 2.7

i find a small lag when running aperture and photoshop and illustrator all at the same time but i kind of expect this when running 3 huge programs at the same time
