mem upgrade?
so i have an HP dv6780se it had windows xp on it and i wiped everything when trying to dual boot ubuntu as a noob. Needing windows for photoshop i decided since im starting fresh i might as well get windows 7 and i loaded the 64bit version (didnt know the differences between 64 and 32 so just picked one... not sure if i made the right choice?) well im starting to get more and more into editing high res photos in CS5 and my computer takes FOREVER to run what seems to be just basic tasks. it freezes up and just wont do anything sometimes but i can still move the mouse around. i currently have 3 gig of mem in the laptop and i know 64bit windows can read more so i wanted to upgrade but found out i can only have 4gig? is this right? and if so, would it be worth it to get the extra 1gig or mem? also, can anyone help me do anything to make photoshow run better/faster? my hard drive is pretty full as well, would this slow things down as well?
