Max. RAM upgrade on 17" powerbook?
Anyone upgraded a 17" powerbook at all?
I thought I was managing on an extra 512MB = 1GB but I notice with graphic materials it still runs slow.
Any advantages to upgrading further, or am I hitting the ceiling speed for the 17"? I've tried turning off other applications inc. Spotlight and don't use any widgets - my start-up is more or less minimal.

Thats helpful to know. Thanks.
I'm using photoshop CS so it may be a bit slower than iPhoto.
Have you tried loading up the 5000 photos from an external USB drive? My files run into 250MB so I'm not going to get the quantity I need onto a laptop.

Did you go for any brand of upgrade RAM in particular? Any reason?
I guess 250MB files sound big.
Next year, that'll be the size of a dog snack
With the photos and video that we take at our house, storage is starting to be an issue. We have kept old computers just to act as storage for everything. Maybe for xmas I will get a sans.
