Well that's what she's done, but giving Photoshop more RAM *would* be
helpful - at times she's dealing with files with 100+ layers (perhaps
not a good idea, but it's not up to her). 24meg minimum will not
allow her to open many of the files at all. More ram = less pageouts
= quicker work.
She's supposed to be in production. It's like giving a miner a bucket
and spade :)
