If you add a ton of widgets and you notice the rest of your computer feels "slow" or "sluggish", then there's your answer.
Seeing as you have a fast Mac with plenty of RAM, you should be fine though
Hello,
I heard dashboard was a "resource hog", but i really like the look of it.
I am getting the 2.93ghz. 4gb ram. 17inch MBP. Will be a problem?
thanks
With that you could run loads of widgets =]
Dashboard is only "on" when you click it in the dock and the program ends when you click out of it, right? It's not an always-on kind of thing.
