Photoshop CS3

I’m trying to move from PS7 to PScs3 and I’ve got some questions.
CS3 seems to be slower than 7? I’m using windows XP with 2 gb of ram. When I drag an image around on the screen in CS3, it’s choppy (for lack of a better word) but I don’t see that in 7. It’s like CS3 doesn’t have enough ram?

Both are set to use 55% of my ram.

CS3 is a more complex program and has a lot more code than v7, so of course it will seem to be slower on the same machine. If you want it to run faster, get a faster machine (ie. faster CPU and faster RAM).
