CS3 Apps open together Maxing Out my RAM?
Hey all,
Hope I am posting this in the right section and hope I can get some feedback. I’m not even sure if this is a windows problem, but it is a good place to start.
My system is running Vista 64 with 4 GBS of RAM which is the main focus of this problem.
My problem relates to the programs of the Adobe CS3 (That’s CS3 and not CS4). I’ve been doing alot of editing in Premiere Pro, which itself isn’t the problem. MY project in PPro is fairly complex, but only about 20 minutes long and nothing out of the oridinary. The problem begins when I open up any other app to do some related work, like After Effects, my RAM fills up very quickly and I can’t understand why. I look at my Sidebar RAM indicator and it shows I’m using nearly all 4 Gigs of my RAM and the system performance suffers. Why is this? Often After Effects will have basically a small clip open, nothing compared to what Premiere has open but just those 2 apps will be nearly maxing out my RAM, where as PPro alone maybe takes up 2 to 2.3GBs or so.
By contrast when I was on XP 32bit with 2 Gigs of RAM, on the same system I might add, I could have those 2 programs open, plus something like Maya, an IE instance, and so on and it wouldn’t even phase the system.
Do I have something set wrong?

Err, yeah sorry. Forgot to mention that little detail. This is my first use of Vista, and I choose to try 64bit to boot.
