Hi all,

I use Lightroom, bridge, photoshop..

I create a tiff file which is panorama merge withe multiple sites, over 1g..but the whole laptop like very slow n I have to wait for hours.

I got 6g ram is not a lot but it isn't it not enough? It seems to me there is something abnormal which I can't figure it out.

 Check the performance in task manager if the 6gb memory is used up 100% there is your answer.

When the file is opened in LR and PS, then the 6GB is easily used up. PS hogs up memory. I have 8gb and its barely enough to deal with extremely large files.

And of course the processor needs to be able to deal with it too. I am using the intel i5

I'd keep the 1g file for when you get more ram or a faster computer.  Downsize it a bit and you should find it easier to edit.  Laptops usually don't have good graphics cards and that can slow it down with big image files.  I used to use a USB stick to boost ram but I'm not sure that made any difference.

adding a usb stick to your system does not increase the system memory, it is a storage device. Most laptops do not have good graphic cards. Even the I/O system of a laptop is slower than their desktop counterparts. 

If you are constantly creating PS files that are 1G and larger, I would suggest getting a good quad core
I7 or xeon workstation and put all the RAM that you can. Also get some fast 10k hard drives so you create a fast scratch disk. Do not use a external usb scratch disk if you want ultimate performance. USB cannot match the data transfer rate of of a internal sata drive. Get a graphics card with a co processor and a minimum of 1G of video memory.

What  i have set up is 2 SATA3 240gb in Raid to help out , on a i7 and 16gb of ram it does bog down at some points but like barley enough to notice ... the set up is really cheap since the price of hardware really went down recently
