Sgolds, Re: So, you want to have an 8GB PC running existing 32-bit Photoshop and Illustrator with 4GB allocated to each app? No problem!

LOL, how many people do you think can afford 8GB of memory in a home PC? Home PCs have 4 DIMM slots, max, which would require 2GB DIMMs. Here is the only place on Pricewatch that I could find a 2GB module that was not a kit of 2x 1GB modules.

ITEM#INF400-E2GBR Regular price: $1,500.00 Sale price: $950.00

4 of these gives you a $3,800 adder to the purchase of a new system. << 1% of the market would be interested in this kind of expense.

By the way, Crucial also sell 2GB modules for a price of $999.00.

It will take years to get the price of these modules down to a reasonable level. I wonder what percent of the market even has 1GB of memory in their systems?? I bet it isn't even very much.
