Here's what I found about it a month ago:
- turn of font preview
if you don't see a difference, then
- when on nVidia card, turn off hadrdware acceleration in system properties (I can't seem to find these settings now on a matrox, but there was a slider in system prefs that needs to go one step down)
Worked for me.

I've set the scatch disk on a different drive to the program where I've got lots of free space and it seems ok to me.

Im using Photoshop 7, I have no desire to upgrade it as it works nice and fast.

I'm in the same boat as you 2.3ghz with 1.5gigs of ram, CS 2 is slow as sh*t. I just go back to using CS.

My CS2 is playing up BIG TIME!!
Photoshop will not allow me to select layers & Illustrator doesn't display my fonts anymore!! It's gone to the shit ever since i reinstalled it on my upgraded PC. hmmmm...
Back to CS for me too!!

Photoshop CS2 9.0.1 is available!

Switch back to CS or 7 and wait for CS3. CS2 is total Adobe abortion. I have a dual core machine with 2 gigs of ram and it dogs it, even when I made all the changes Adobe recommended.

Enter response:
i've got the nvidia 6800 256 meg card... dual monitors mind, 2 gig ram, 3.2 ghz pentium...
... it's a bit of a hog still - but I still multi-app okay.
I have two internal drive and a few externals also so I allocate scratchdrives and also bump my memory usage up to about 75%...
... nothing else seams to suffer really... CS2 working well w/my setup.
