I've been using MaxMenus previously on my iMac TFT for information, but given that I have 786 RAM the ram meter was rarely important since I couldn't really run out with my usage.
Now my iBook is another story. I see options for Active, Wired, Inactive. Inactive is an amount which is less than the total free space of the graph (there's extra space in white (or transparent, don't know, not user selectable)).
Basically: does Inactive mean RAM which has been requested and reserved by an application and then released and is waiting for another app to use, and the white part is RAM which has never been addressed since boot?
