Small Computer Upgrade Time - Need Advice!

HKYStormFront

i don't really play many games on my PC anymore (recently starcraft 2 but it ran perfectly fine at full resolution at the highest settings) but what's killing my computer is processing pictures. when i open Adobe Bridge and look at a folder, it's trying to load (usually) 15+gb's of RAW files at once and it really starts to chug. add photoshop CS4 on top of that and it can be unbearable. i've got a fast hard drive for my photography (10k rpm, 6.0/gbps) but it still lags quite a bit. most RAW files are 20-25mb each. my friend, and i, believe that i'll be better off with at least 8 gb.

if i go with #3, i would definitely get the same PNY ram just two 4 gb dims instead of 1gb's
