[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1177684, member: 140470"] Part of your problem is the application itself and how well it was created. Firefox seems to have a memory leak and will hog up more RAM the longer you leave it opened. I prefer to close Firefox and reopen it at least once a day. Other applications can behave that way also. It's not the Mac OS that is crashing but rather the application you are using. Firefox really does like being restarted daily. If you use Activity Monitor and check up on your applications you will notice which ones are the worst problem causers. Just remember not to leave those programs opened endlessly. I do agree with the others though. I also prefer to quit applications when I'm not using them. 4 gigs really isn't a lot of RAM when you have every single application you own opened. It's like winning the lottery and then buying a new Ferrari every Wednesday. ;) Just because you have it doesn't mean you should waste it... [/QUOTE]
