I left CS4 on my computer to use plugins and have CS5 running in 64-bit mode. I read that CS5 can use only 2.1GB RAM in 32-bit mode which is even less than in CS4.Quote:

To run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application:
Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.
Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode.
Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
If your processor supports 64-bit, CS5 will run in 64-bit mode by default. You can also go to the Activity Monitor to check which applications run in 64-bit.Quote:

I have Mac OSX (Snow Leopard) running in 64-bit mode, the numbers are a bit different than with Windows. In 32/32 bit it's a bit over 3GB (CS4), with CS5 in 32bit it's 2.1 and in 64bit as much RAM as available.Quote:
