Yes and no.
Yes you need enough RAM for the Job
No, you don't need any more than that.

For a normal person using Photoshop, your suggestion is inappropriate.

What do you consider "Normal Person"? It appeared as though the OP was
into some form of graphics design - from the list of apps - or just web
development. Sure, the Dual Xeon is overkill for home users, but most
home users don't have PhotoShop - they have PS Lite or some other
stripped down version. It's a $600 package unless you get the pirated
version of it.

Anyone willing to spend $600 on Photoshop is not a "home" user, but more
of a business user.

The comment about "enough RAM for the Job" is meaning less unless the OP
states what he does with PS, and I already said my system was overkill
for most.

A graphic designer eh? ..... Java and C ...... of course, silly me. My
apologies.

Eh? You mean you can get a pirated copy of PS ?????? Nooooo, surely not.
Sorry, I just can't believe anybody uses pirate software these days.
You must be correct. I apologise again.

He has - 'some Photoshop, not a lot'
Doesn't sound like a 150 layer, A0 printing, power user to me??

But then..... you must be correct.
So I'll apologise anyway.

I already said the Dual Xeon / 2GB was overkill, what more can I say to
make you happy - you don't need to reply.
