Why ANY Manufacturer ships computers with less than 256Megs of ram (even this does not seem to be enough, 512 is the minimum any computer I have or built for others have) and no Antivirus (for PCs) is beyond me... Altho I have yet to see a Mac (running OS X) self-destruck because of not having enough RAM, PC Manufactures should know better by now! Ok... enough ranting... I should actually LIKE the fact that PC Manufacturers are that naive - they make me money! heh

shoot, jag with 256mb was still slow for me and Apple employees didn't even recommend or try to upsell me more ram, bleh@them. I got a 512mb module for my iBook for about $105 though Now system performance is _a lot_ better /me jumps in the air and starts dancing

 It's scary that they made DIMMS that small!

MacLuv, I've just upgraded by PowerBook G3 Pismo with another 512MB so am now running 768MB . I was experiencing sluggishness with only 384MB and noticed (when running top in Terminal) that I was having severe pageouts.Now with 768MB, hardly any pageouts and a very slight improvemnt on the sluggishness problem. But boy, can I run some apps now! Heaps of them. And still have free ram should I find another app to play with. I agree that Apple is being particularly stingey with the amount of ram that ships as a minimum. When I first bought my Pismo it came with 64MB so I had to immmediately upgrade it. I've upgraded twice now, and am pretty sure that my last purchase will be exactly that! Apple does come out with deals where they double your ram etc. I understand that you have to send in a rebate form or other inconvenient schemes though. What they should be doing is just stocking all Macs with 384 or 512MBs of ram and ditch the stupid offers. My analogy is: it would be like Ford bringing out a V8 and governing the accelerator by 50%. Macs are the V8's of computers. I too am wanting to find a new home for my spare 128MB and 64 MB SO-DIMMs. If you get a taker for yours, let me know if they want more - I'm 100% Kiwi too! Zeal |

how much do you want for the 128 chip Zeal and MacLuv? PM me your asking price!!! its this line that shows whats going on with your RAM usage PhysMem: 30.2M wired, 101M active, 52.6M inactive, 184M used, 8.38M free at the moment i have near on 60Mb unused RAM running explorer and iCal, iTunes, limewire, stickies and terminal. Mind you this takes a serious hit when i load photoshop and indesign. There is Ram going fairly cheap though, i saw 256mb PC133 SDRAM going for NZ$77 new
