I'm am just at a loss of words.

What a mess. It could not be any slower. What were you thinking Adobe?

You ripped apart the code just to add GPU support for what? To provide worse performance?

Make sure you DL the demo first... CS4 is a disaster.

The latest hardware cant even run it smoothly... Dont tell me its graphic drivers.

    Readyboost is a lot slower then RAM. Besides, assuming Envy has a 512 meg video card taking up the 512 address space, just exactly how is windows 7 running on readyboost alone? Also, having a 6 year computer means it has no e-sata so the SD drive has to be USB. Never mind the rest of the hardware and software. Very interesting indeed.

    >cs4 master suit...512mb of ram and a 6 year old computer...running windows 7 beta?

    I have no idea how your computer could possibly be running the OS, let alone Photoshop. Either MS has worked a miracle or you are used to timing your Photoshop operations with a calendar.

    is there a fix yet?

    core 2 duo 2.4ghz
    3gb ram
    512mb 9600GT
    win xp 32bit
    newest drivers

    played with settings, GPU on, upped cache, etc

    still lags. my biggest complaint is when i try to type texts i would type like a sentence and it would appear like 10seconds later

    any ideas?

    Jolly is fine with me.

    However, forums were created for users to ask questions and "hopefully" getting advice from those who have "been-there-done-that", and can offer constructive advice.

    Posts that do not support that philosophy are simply a waste of bandwidth

    this one included

    Now how do I do that smiley thing?

    Lighten up Hugh!

    It's not about you.

    Bart made a funny and Dave took it to the next stage.

    We try to keep it jolly here in the face of so much adversity.

    I'm still confused.

    I understand the "selling ponies" reference. The phrase actually predates the urban dictionary reference by several 100 years...

    Are you mocking my post or OLG?

    Have you ever served on a standards committee? Do you know what it is like? Agreed, not perfect?

    I was on the original IEEE Ethernet and the X.25 committees. If you have not been there, its like Hell, but with drinks served between sessions to prevent any mass killings.
