Also, I have experienced a few OOM issues while running games such as Team Fortress 2,(now as you know, that does not page well,lol boom crash, you lose this round, you get the idea) I'm just surprised how poorly memory is managed here on the mac, I'm using way more ram than I ever had on a windows machine, is it Leopard or Lion?(Same issue on both) I mean Tiger used to run just peachy on my old eMac. less than 512Mb of ram usage and all.
