[QUOTE="Badger, post: 151385"] OS X is RAM intensive. If you don't have as much RAM as it wants it will use virtual memory. Since VM is on the hard disk it is (much) slower than RAM. By loading up on RAM you've insured that X and the apps will avoid using VM and run as efficiently as possible. [/QUOTE]
