[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 690032, member: 21101"] My MacBook will also soon be 2 years old. More RAM would be nice for your machine Netty, however even with 2 GBs of RAM installed, Safari can be a memory hog. For some reason, it just grows and grows over time, unlike Firefox that now seems to have all its memory issues under control. I actually did an experiment when FF3 RC2 was released to compared memory useage between the browsers, and after about 4 days of up time, safari was using 194MBs and Firefox 84Mbs, with roughly the same history. Try this for a laugh. Watch some streaming video on Safari and then browse some ordinary sites and see if/when Safari gives up the memory it hogged. I'll answer for you, it doesn't. I reckon Safari 4 will address these issues... but upgrade your RAM anyway! ;D [/QUOTE]
