[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1098131, member: 40142"] I have a eight core MacPro at work, I'll do a test on some large brushes, but I have never encountered a lag with brushes, on the work Mac Pro or even on my little white Intel Macbook. (just tested the brushes on my Macbook and they are fine, and this Macbook is only running 2 gig of RAM) On the memory issue chas is right, CS4 can gobble up 4 gig of RAM for itself, the new 64 Bit CS5 can use as much RAM as it finds. It doesn't matter if you are running OSX with a 32 bit kernel or the 62 bit kernel, it handles memory totally differently to Windows. Rather than explain the detail read this....
