My Mitsubishi CRT is still used on my old machine .and is great but the
additional size of the EIZO allows loads of editing area with paletets.

My 32 bit VISTA machine has 4GB RAM but only recognises about 3.5 - I think
XP has a similar limit. I am not sure if VISTA 64 has larger address space
but Photoshop is not supported by ADOBE for this. I have had a quick look
for the extension mentioned by Pico but havn't found it yet (may be an Apple
Mac extension). I have had no problems with VISTA .

Your version of CS3 should multithread (use all cores available) - My
computer guru (salesperson) says that Vista handles this much better than XP
but this may be bullshit (how do you know a computer salesman is lying?
their lips move - an old joke you can use for lawyers and car salesmen too)
Hope this helps
