Hi Marc,
that lot of VRAM would only benefit Photoshop if
it would use the GPU (graphics card unit).
I don't even know about any Photoshop plugin that
renders on the graphics card. (Someone correct
me if I'm wrong)
Fact is, that using the GPU could easily speed up renderings
with a factor of 4. ATI just released a tool to compute
videos using the GPU. NVIDIA has a sample Photoshop
plugin for using the GPU. Adobe Premiere (PC only)
uses the GPU. CoreImage in Apples Tiger uses the GPU,
but there is no CoreImage on PC, so Adobe won't use it.
So the answer is yes if you are doing video work or if
you suspect that things may change soon. Otherwise,
the answer is no.
Regards
Rolf

Here is a question on improving Photoshop performance: I know that
every
bit of RAM improves Photoshop performance, but what about Video RAM?
Is it
worth buying a card with 512 MB of VRAM, or is it a waste of money?
Thanks,
Mark Rice
