Is a stinking pile of bloated dog shit that I have to eat every fucking day. Adobe, sort it the fuck out. It doesn't fucking work.

mine works fine and in fact i am really liking the new changes.
Although i use InDesign and Illustrator almost exclusively. Love the native file support; took them long enough to get that shit working correctly. ..

I am still on CS3 with no desire/need to upgrade as it can still outperform me.

LOVE Illustrator CS5

At least it's not CS4, fuck sake what a pile of crap.

I dread opening illustrator because of how much memory it takes.

Here's a couple of things I love.
Flash's interface won't break down every time you need to open, save or import. Try that in CS4.Illustrator's stroke widening tool. God, that's nice.
What I don't like: This isn't new but Photoshop won't let go of RAM after purging and closing every file. After Effects can purge the whole load of shit every time you try.
- AE even has a purge button in the menu.
Fucking love AE, kicks the shit out of the rest of the suiteanimatedgif - AE has always been their best program.CyBrainX

Illy and Indesign CS5 just crashes every time I open it.. just started happening for no reason... got to love that.. PS just freezes when looking to preferences... even though I delete the preferences file every time.. and of course it happens when I'm on a tight deadline...
- Gotta be a pref conflict. Did you modify them? For afx, multiprocessing is mega buggy bro. Avoid it for now.nthkl

Get an SSD, none of the CS5 apps take longer than 3 seconds to load for me.
I used to get a few crashes in photoshop with too many images open but it's fine now I have 4GB.

I absolutely love it but recently I've noticed Photoshop hogging memory while very little is being done.
If I do a bunch of editing or creative work, then close all those documents and start afresh, the usage is still stupidly high. I think there's a memory leak in it somewhere.

Turn off Open GL Enhanced stuff in performance unless you got an after market card. Shit will run like photoshop 5.5. Have more than 6gb of ram, 16gb is optimal. Yes, agree, and SSD for your OS and local apps are a must as well as a secondary regular 7200 rpm or above scratch drive.
Ram is key for CS5. It'll run 9x fast w/ 16gb of ram vs 4gb of ram.
- run like 5.5 meaning "snappy as fuck".nthkl
- 16GB ram would be nice. except for my wallet.akrokdesign
- doesnt it depend on how much ram you are using? 6gb seems to be enough. hell illy+photoshop+ind = less then 700mb total + OS/browser/email/uti... is only 2.17gb used, leaving plenty for a lot of your everyday stuffdeathboy
- 700mb. add on to that OS/browser/email/uti... im lookign at 2.17gb leaving plenty for files in appsdeathboy
- anyone doign normal stuff probably would only see less money instead of performance maxing ramdeathboy

SSD's start at $100 bones: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/i…
- seen those. will be my next buy. :-)akrokdesign
- 120gb for 249.akrokdesign
- only get ssd if u have secondary drive. write speeds arent that great on many.deathboy
- oh...i was thinking for my laptop.akrokdesign

I'm still on the first cs version... and it works flawlessly

Regarding CS5 and ram, checkout pg 3... http://www.adobe.com/products/ph…
Ya gotta be on a 64bit setup Combined with CS5 though, :\

Check this on SSD's

A solid state hard drive was upgraded on the computer on the right. It is like a flash memory drive, with no moving parts. Read/write times are 2-3 times faster than conventional rotating disc hard drives.
- Looks like a big improvement and easy to do... maybe I'll try that with my old laptop...ItalianStallion

cs5 is blazin on my 4gb imac for me, much better than cs3 on the older imac.

But...is it worth the $,$$$.$$?
- I'd say yes. $100-200 now will return with saved time. Especially when it's 4am. :( sorta like right now.nthkl

before i went out on my own, i was freelancing with cs5 at home - and using cs3 at work... going to work felt like traveling back in time. good thing is that they're still on cs3 there, so send me files all the time to save back for them, $.

CS3 has been my favourite for a while - got cs4 and 5 and not that keen on either...
Love all the mac users complaining about crashes - funny you always say macs don't crash... hahahaha- it's not a system crash like on windows. it's just the programs. CAUSE IT HAS BUGS!akrokdesign
- if adobe would do their fucking jobs right. there shouldn't be any problems.akrokdesign
