Hi,

I´m running Photoshop CS3 Extended on a Quadcore with 4 giga of Ram. Windows XP is 64 (I think it´s a problem).

I´m having a problem… Photoshop is very slow… very very slow when comparated to my old pc that was a XP 32 bits and 2 giga of ram.

Could it be a problem because I´m using a 64 bits OS or using Quadcore ? Is photoshop CS3 extended preparated for XP 64 bits OS and Quadcore?

Thank´s for any advice

Sounds more like you have a network printer set up as a default. Change it a local printer and see if that helps.

That said, XP64 is not supported, though Vista 64 does have some quasi support. I’m running CS3 on Vista 64 and everything is great.

I too am running CS3 in Vista 64 with 6G RAM on a quadcore processor. It flies.
