Using photoshop 3 for over two hours with no memory or cpu hogging.Im doing photo touch ups and graphic design with a lot of layer effects. I have really only heavily used layer styles and adjustment layers without any errors.Other things I have looked at have not given me errors either.iMac 24" PS CS3 can relaunch in 4 seconds.PS CS2 can relaunch in 16 seconds.CPU usage with 5 opened files 0.60%RAM usage 250MBInitial launch for PS CS3 took around 23 seconds and 46 seconds for PS CS 2.Opening medium-large files (over 2MB) load up much quicker and feel snapier when moving windows and changing from multiple opened files.
the edu version of photoshop is for cs2 only, you cannot use it for future upgrades or commercial work, as it says when you buy it. so it kinda makes sense that you will not be able to get in on the cs3 beta. The smart thing to do, is go on eBay and buy up an older ps6/7 lic and buy the upgrade (some sellers sell these in combos) you usually save 100-200 dollars, since Adobe doesn't like to allow users who own macs and windows machines to share lic' you have to buy full retail copies for both machines, I quickly found this work around out several years ago, after already dropping the money down for a full version, and needing another version for my pc machine, and have been telling friends to do the same ever since.
So, I finally downloaded an tested the CS3. I have been working with big files with lotsa layers (190+ mb, 50+ layers) and i can say it is comparable to running cs1 on bootcamp, on XP. At first I saw it was eating up to 850 mb ram, i lowered it on the prefs to 47% of ram usage and i feel its better. Bridge is smooth. For those worried about the performance (like me) i think this is HUGE improvement over CS1 on Rosetta.
I have the Education version of the CS2 Suite and I got the CS3 Beta serial just fine from Adobe and installed it just fine on both my Mac Mini G4 and my MB 2.0.On my MacBook it launches in about 3 seconds and things are very much faster overall as compared to CS2 through Rosetta. Even on my Mac Mini it seems to run a bit fast than CS2.

You can also download and use it for 2 days without a serial number.

Funny thing is that even though I have CS2, I find myself using the GIMP when I need to edit photos.
