Hi All
I have a unibody, 13", Alu macbook with 2 gb of ram. I upgraded to Snow leopard 5 months ago. I completely wiped the hard-rive and installed it fresh. Everything worked fine but recently I have noticed some slow down, because of this, I wanted to start fresh (and i have a lot of photography work coming up). I reinstalled as normal and now my mac is really hogging memory. Having a blank microsoft word window open is using 180mb, firefox is using 300. Right now iam using 1.18gb of memory and i only have word,firefox and sportify open. The CPU is fine and is always low. I have looked for answers online, a lot of people say go back to leopard, but i dont see why i should, my mac is reasonable new and the os is up to date. |If anyone could shed some light that would be much appreciated.
Regards
Aiden
