    Photoshop and Powerful Machines

      Some eons ago, I was a PS user and found my then-current machine had features which PS was not using. Cannot remember the fine detail, we are talking PS5 or 6...

       

      So, now I am contemplating buying a new i7 based machine with umpteen GB of memory and super graphics board. All these raise questions: can PS (and Lightroom) use the speed features of the i7, can they use the umpteen GB, switch into the graphics stuff.

       

      I am fed up with the P4 3.2GHz, 3GB, GeForce 9800GT platform I have - it stumbles and makes me wait... will I end up finding things not much better on a platform potentially 50 times faster? Or is 50 times faster just a dream?
