processors one of the main things in your computer but do you ever think how fast these things are getting these days.once upon a time a computer with a 300mhz processor could get you quite popular play every game and basically do everything modern.i bought my p.c about a year ago and it has a 1.8ghz p4 processor.But now chips are going up to speeds of about 2.4ghz.Then theres the cost processors dont come cheap.Ask yourself do home computers need to be this fast???

It takes just under 2 seconds when it's already in the RAM ;-)

yeah, i have that too. it overided my old settings and now takes ages to load. ive set PHP to load up with PHPEd though - much faster.

Photoshop takes about 5 seconds to load on my 1.3Ghz and i've got a load of extra plugins, how nice.
Dreamweaver's a git though, takes about 15-20 seconds most time and it annoys me because it's the main program for my CSS/PHP pages so if I accidentally click on it I loose my Ram for a while, same goes for 1st Page 2000 though but I like that program.

True, although I have very fast RAM and HDDs, I do think it would load
quicker with a faster processor, as my CPU graph shows.
