Would it help my photoshop speed if I upgrade more RAM?


i wondering if in photoshop cc 64 bit performance if upgraded 2 year pc's ram? there lot of questions computer performance in forum, cannot find definite question on if upgrading pc helps.

 

i digital artist, , use photoshop cc coloring comics. performance far okay, degree of brush lag (tolerable) , hesitant open other programs or windows or photoshopping (last time tried multiple tab chrome , youtube playing in background slowed down). files 300dpi, multi-fill-layer, adjustment layer, around 4800 x 15000 pixel drawings.

 

my current computer specs below:

 

microsoft windows 7 home premium 6.1.7601 service pack 1 build 7601

acer aspire x3990 x64-based pc

intel(r) core(tm) i5-2310 cpu @ 2.90ghz, 2901 mhz, 4 core(s), 4 logical processor(s)

installed physical memory (ram)          4.00 gb

total physical memory          3.98 gb

available physical memory          1.00 gb

total virtual memory          7.96 gb

available virtual memory          4.28 gb

 

as right photoshop cc peformance let around upper limit of recommended ram (71%), advanced graphic processor settings normal, history states 15, cache level 4, cache tile size 1024.

it not increase speed, removes bottlenecks in handling large files. bumped ram in 4 year old macbook 2 gb 6 gb , replaced slower conventional hdd faster solid state drive, driverheaven bench marks have not increased , i5 dell still twice fast. need 64 bit version of windows (which i'm sure have) , programs must 64 bit access ram. when go 64 bit ps, plug-ins have updated 64 bit well.

 

there real pros out here, such noel carboni, know take optimize system large files. running against 2gb limit of psd. you'll want psb format.

 

but,anyway 16 gb ram given multilayered files.

 

good luck on it,
