I'm sure this is a newbie Q, but here goes: I would like to know what Wired, Active, Inactive, and Free are when concerning the system memory. When deciding whether or not I need more ram should I look at the free memory; if it's always low when running apps (10mb) should I get more ram or do I go by my active memory? My inactive memory always seems to be higher (currently at 413mb). Is inactive spare memory for apps? I'm just a little confused. Hope this makes sense as I'm not quite up to par with all the tech stuff. TIA
