I am using Adobe CS6 products in my PC. But when I run Photoshop and Illustrator together or using ''Extrude and bevel'' feature in illustrator my PC hangs down and these program stops responding. My PC configuration is below.
Proceccor: Intel dual core 2.7 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
OS: Wnodos 8 (32bit)

Now the question is if I add another 1 GB RAM will these problem gone?

Adding at least 1 Gb of ram is crucial. Also pay attention in properties where (what hard drive) are the temp files going, and make sure you have defragmented that Hdd and you have plenty of space on them, since temp files can get large...

Thank you for comment. My HDD is fully cleaned. I defrag and clean temp file 2-3 times a week.

I would probably try to continue to add RAM as you move forward. I am running 8gb DDR3 right now and I use CorelDrawX6 and Corel PhotoPaint and things seem to be working rather smooth.

My i5 4GB RAM laptop freeze for seconds in serious ''Extrude and bevel''.
Just today working with Ai and PS together cause a 10 minutes freeze due to 100MB Ai file.
So, yes go for another GB.

100 MB file! What does it contains?

Yes I know! It is 300 PPI file that contains has 4 webpages designs, 1024x768 each. Some high quality photo as well!

So when I export it and tried to resize it and add a background in PS, my laptop went numb for the first time.

Adding just 1GB RAM would not help you a lot. On 32bit OS you can use 4GB max, but better solution is to switch to 64bit OS and mount 8GB RAM.

Not just adding the RAM.. Add also a Video graphics adapter (VGA) so that it will help your motherboard's burden.... The computer will get little of your memory for the graphics if you do not use video card...Ex. if you use 4gb RAM. That will go down in 3.5gb mabe.. But if you have attach video card. The exact memory will use..

32bit OS can't use more than 3.5GB RAM.

for me, even with 4GB ram, sometimes for example, when you are working with complicated effect or so much node/anchor point, or large resources, it can be hard for your PC to handle it.. because all of part in the PC must work together..... And for ram, if you can get more bigger size, it'll better i think..
