We have just installed CS2 on 2 different machines. Both are pretty good machines. They were build for running photoshop and nothing else. The machines are about 1 year old and they have 1g of ram.
Photoshop 7.0 ran pretty quickly on both machines. Now that we are running CS2 it very sluggish. We are allocating 80% to photoshop.
Is anyone else seeing this??

Some experience slow redraws, due to faulty videocard drivers. What videocard? are drivers updated?
#2
What, specifically, is slow?
#3
The entire program is slow. Especially the bridge browser. I don't know the name of the video cards but they are new and high power. When purchased I told the computer guy that it was going to run Photoshop and I wanted the best video card I could get.

If you call your garage, do you expect the mechanic to help you if you just say "the car is making a noise" witout telling what car you are running, neither where the noise comes from, and if the noise is a buzz, a humming...
You do need to give more explanations in order to get help: do you have a lot of fonts, what videocard brand and model, the processor, maybe the number of fonts installed.
80% is too much, especially if you have only 1Gb of RAM.

it s not the first time in this forum people have stated that CS2 version runs slower than its previous version.
it must be a bit of truth there!
Pierre how much memory would you allocated ideally if I have "only" 1Gb of RAM?

I'd say 55% or 60%, but your mileage may vary: you maybe work on small images or huge ones, use plug-ins or not, etc.
An engineer would have a much more valid answer.
