What the best thing I can do to speed up PS CS5?

I am running Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 Professional 32-bit with the Performance Experience below. The machine is slower than molasses when I edit a 16-bit image (I don't edit in 8-bit mode). It can't even refresh a 100MB image properly. Will upgrading the video card help significantly? I can't do anything about the CPU and memory on this machine.
If I buy a new PC, what are the most important consideration for optimal Photoshop performance? Video card? Memory? CPU? Thanks.

CS5 64-bit flies on this setup (BIOS Tweak settings at default):

  • Whates the best thing to clean the outside with?

    Whats the best product to clean the aluminim case of the macbook pro? Thanks

    Cleaning Your MacBook Pro
    Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your computer and its components:
    Shut down your MacBook Pro, detach the power adapter, and remove the battery.
    Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray any type of liquid directly on the computer.
    Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

    Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
    "Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??

    I have done that and it is definitely on.  My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same).  Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
    I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
    I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

  • After resizing a disc partition using disk utilities, I can no longer boot windows. HELP! what is the best thing that I can do to fix this

    Bare with me as Im no computer genius but ... This afternoon I wanted to create more disc space on my Windows partition as I am using CAD software and wanted to free up as much space as possible. So, I went into disk utility and reduced the size of the Mac partition, then clicked apply.
    When I came to reboot the computer to use windows the windows OS, the option to use windows was no longer there.
    After looking at some online forums, I've found that most people suggest reformatting the hard drive and re-installing mac OS and also windows from back up data.
    Is there no easier way for which I will not lose any data? Please help! I really need to use Windows ASAP!

    The only apps I know of that can backup a Windows partition and or resize a windows parttition on a Mac so you don't have to go through the wipeing out, resizing and reinstall is WinClone for backing it up and WinTune (I think that is the name) for resizing a Windows partition on a Mac.
    Once you create a Windows partition, install Windows in that partition, you can't fool around with any partition on your drive with either Windows Disk Management or OS X Disk Utility and expect Windows to boot.
    The only thing you can try is to run Boot Camp Assistant.app again and remove the Windows partition and then run it again to create a larger partition and then reinstall Windows. Once you remove the windows partition put all the space back into the OS X partition and start fresh.

  • What do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the thunderbolt on the mac to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

    what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

    Back up your iPhone and restore from backup. If that's does not help, restore your iPhone as new (not from backup).

  • Water damaged iPhone 5c. what is the best thing for me to do?

    i dropped my brand new iphone 5c in water. what is the best thing for me to do? should i just go straight to apple? and how much would i be looking at?

    Fact is, the chances of fully recovering from water damage, on an iPhone, are extremely low. Your best bet is to belly up to the bar & pay Apple the out of warranty exchange fee: US $269. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
    Good luck.

    Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    You are asking two different questiions:
    1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
    2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.
