i have a g5 quad with about 6 gigs of ram and it's pretty bitchin'.
ms office is still pretty slow, but i think it's the app.

Thanks guys...
Got a Dual 2.3 on the way. My tight-ass boss wouldn't go for the Quad.
Managed to wangle 2Gb of RAM though, so that's something.

i am running the 2.3ghz dual core G5 with 5 gigs of ram at work. it's no slouch... I figure three gigs for the other bloated apps and 2 gigs for photoshop i enough for now. photoshop can't even use or recognize more than 2GB of installed ram anyway. even setting your preferences to 100% memory usage won't help. More Ram seems to help the OS though. Having a big hard drive helps too especially if you partition. my work computer has a 500GB drive partitioned in half one half for the system and the other half as my scratch disk.
