[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1333250, member: 71075"] Activity Monitor, once you learn how to read it (which is pretty easy), can be extremely helpful. Here's an annotated capture of Activity Monitor highlighting the only three parts you'll ever likely need to understand: [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/384321/am_example.png[/IMG] Once you sort them (by clicking the column title), you'll find that AM is a quick and easy way to access info about running apps. That's not to say that other apps are bad but rather to point out that you already have a powerful monitor installed. :) If you'd like, you can post a screenshot of AM for us and we can read it for you. Please sort it by CPU usage first. [/QUOTE]
