Yeah, it sounds like you are taxing the video capabilities....I could be wrong. Another gig of ram would help more than a new CPU, and be a far easier upgrade.

 

ermm.. if i increase the ram .. would it helping ? or better upgrade the processor?

 

Yes, is your hard drive grinding as you work? If so it's for sure the RAM because you do not have enough RAM to do your tasts using the fast RAM, so your PC starts grabbing HD space and using it as "virtual" ram, this slows down the PC and grinds your HD too much.

 

RAM
Video card
CPU

Upgrade in that order.

 

If you are working with multiple vector graphics and multiple layers on a single page - more than 50, your pc will simply slow down as it renders each vector and layer especially when you try to move the whole bunch on a page. No difference at all even if you upgrade to a higher spec.

Just try to lessen multiple layers.
