I recently bought a Dell xps8500 refurb from new egg. I also got a samsung pro 256GB SSD. I cloned the original HD onto the ssd with the software provided by samsung. The machine booted fine from the new drive and I am
now using the old drive as my data drive.
I use this machine for image editing...mostly photoshop. It is an 17 processor
w 12g of ram. I am running photoshop CS2. It has not been ideal. My editing
usually involves opening multiple jpegs..about 50 15mb files at a time and running thru them quickly one by one. The problem with this new machine is that as I continue editing thru the group...the image windows start to "blink"..in other words vanish momentarily as the file is saved as if I am short of memory or processing power. Rebooting the program solves this temporarily..but it comes back again soon. My old machine with only 4 gigs of ram and a dual core E8500 processor never did this...although it would start to run slower with multiple files.
Is there anything I can do to solve this issue? It seems like a cache is filling up as I go along and that slows the process down. I know my CS2 can only use about 2.7 gb of my ram.
