With the people I work with, who range from photographers,
graphics artists and other publishing types, 256MB RAM is more the
norm running Photoshop, Pagemaker, Dreamweaver, and such. That's on
both Macs and PC's. Adobe makes some nice products, but they
certainly aren't lighweight when it comes to resource requirements.
When you're talking a full page spread in either Photoshop or
Pagemaker, that's quite a large amount of RAM being used.
