Linda,

I run Win2000Pro on a PIII 800, 512 Apacer Ram and my scratch files approximately like you. (I also have a GeforceII MX32MBVideo card).

This 5OOMhz/800MHz won't make the difference.

So there must be something else.

Please try this: On the bottom of your document you will see some numbers. At the right of these you have a popup. Choose Document sizes.

If you don't scale or crop the image, the left number shouldn't change a lot because it gives you the size of your image when it would be flattened.

The number on the right tells you how much ram is being used by the image, all layers included. So keep an eye on this one and see what amount of memory each layer uses.

It may also depend on how many apps you have running in the background (virus scanner, firewall, ...and the whole bunch of Microsoft leeches)
