I've been using IDCS3 on a Tiger 10.4.11-running Mac Pro for months at work,
having previously used CS1 here. I've saved many hours of work using CS3 over
what it would have taken me using CS1 because of typesetting features in CS3
that didn't exist in CS1--I don't regret the upgrade in the slightest. I don't notice any performance issues and CS3 has been very stable. This particular Mac has 4GB of
RAM. I and the designers I work with rarely use the whizzier "Effects" other than your
basic transparency and occasional blending modes.
