[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1528149, member: 56379"] I got a better look at your pics from a different computer...and it looks like you have 2 gig of ram (so that's better than 1gig).:) Like Harry asked...please tell us what exact model MacBook you have. Then we can look up what the max. ram is for that model. Also. Page-outs can be controlled very very easily...just reboot the computer. When you reboot the computer...page-outs go to zero. But the less ram you have...the faster the page-outs value will grow to a point that the computer is slowed down (beachballs). And with only 2gig of ram...having too many apps open at once will also cause problems. Thus...with only 2 gigs of ram & lots of apps open...page outs will grow quickly...and you need to reboot more often to control the page outs. - Nick [/QUOTE]
