Hi all,
I’m currently running CS3 extended with no issues at all….pentium 4, P4P800-MX m/b, 3Ghz CPU 2Gb ram. Works like a charm. So..what’s the issue? Well, I’m trying CS4 extended and quite like some of the improvements in this version. However…I’m getting quite a few memory error messages…(yes, I’ve Googled and researched)
"can’t read the memory…click to terminate/debug etc etc." Anyhow…it would seem from my research that the video capability of my computer may be the problem.
It’s onboard Intel 82865G Graphics Controller (searched for an updated driver but there isn’t one)
I discovered that if I turn off hardware acceleration then CS4 seems to run better, with no error messages…so far!…Anyhow, I downloaded a "speed test" file (image plus an action) and ran it on CS3 and then CS4. The result is CS3: 4 minutes, CS4 with no hardware acceleration 2.5 minutes…so, clearly it processes images faster. With hardware acceleration on full it took …3 minutes with no error messages until I quit the program…then there’s error messages on the desktop. So, it seems that CS4 runs faster without hardware accl than CS3 does with it enabled. I guess I could think about a new computer, but I’d (at this stage anyway) like to run CS4 on my present system but without the memory error problem. I need to do more editing with hardware accel turned off to see if that works consistently. In the meantime I’d appreciate any feedback as to systems that you guys are using to run CS4. I’ve heard that Vista is not reliable and has driver issues…is that correct? So…what is a poweful system I should think about getting? (m/b, ram, graphics card etc.
Thanks,
Paul
