Yes 8GB ram with Vista rocks, you cant kill it or even slow it down

Yep - and that's just for the upgrade. The premium production suite here in Oz is nearly AU$2,800, and the whole shebang "Master Collection" is AU$4,100
To be fair, the thread is entitled "Photoshop CS4", which on its own (without the rest of the standard suite) is around the AU$1,150 mark, or AU$299 for the upgrade.
I agree that Vista 64 screams on a decent machine. Everything I do on mine is now almost instant. I've never seen Photoshop or Lightroom (22,000 images) fire up in two seconds from start before.
