    Entirely depends upon how many images you are trying to stitch together and how big they are, along with how much of that 1 GB is not currently being used by your OS and any other applications currently running.

    Thanks I just installed 4g of ram and the functions now seem to rum correctly! Woo goo also sped up the whole computer no end at the same time so great result.

    The good news is that memory is really cheap now and Win 7 x64 will support huge amounts of memory.

    The bad news is that Photoshop Elements is a 32 bit only application and can't use more than roughly 3 GB under Windows. The extra GB maps to the video card.

     

    Full, expensive, Photoshop is a 64 bit app and can run much faster with 8 GB or more of memory.
