[QUOTE="jessica, post: 118887"] I am running Tiger 10.4.1 on a PowerBook 1.67gHz with 512 MB ram. I have 128mb video. The programs that are running right now are: MS Word, iTunes, Safari with 5 open tabs, and iChat. In my menu bar I am running Sticky Windows and Synergy. I won’t even say this didn’t happen in Panther because I never cared to check. But now, I am consistently showing that I have 69M Wired Memory 289M Active 130M Inactive and 23M Free. I found this using the dashboard widget called Dash Monitor. My question is, is this bad? I assume another 512 stick at least would fix it. I need it for photoshop anyway, but I was trying to make sure the 512 would even be useful. I know in windows more memory is useful and I am assuming that is the case here for me. But are those stats above bad? Should I be worried? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
