Q: (Mid 2012) Mac Pro running slow. PS5.5

Hello,

 

I have a Mac Pro (mid 2012)

here are it's specs:

 

Software =     OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)

processor =   3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

memory =      8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC (4- 2GB modules)

graphics =     ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB

Hard Drive =  1TB SATA Disk (367GB free of 999GB)

 

I would like to pause to say thank you for reading this.

 

I am experiencing slow performance opening and closing photoshop files & slow performance executing tasks within PS, such as moving a selected group from on side of the document to the other.

 

The files I work with are large, currently 1GB and it's only 1/2 completed. Multi page catalog. I design these files for print mostly so they need to be 300 - 350 dbi.

 

I also use premiere pro which is also a bit slow.

 

I know I'm probably way too low on RAM & was wondering if adding more would remedy this or if there's something less expensive it could be.

 

Thank you so much in advance for any advice given.

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
