[QUOTE="GK27V6, post: 707026, member: 61812"] Well alright, thanks for all the info. That goes for everyone else as well. But guess what, I've found something else. My MB has one gig of RAM. When I boot up the machine and check the iStat Pro widget it says I have over 600MB free. After using my computer for web browsing or using any other application for a couple hours, that number is usually less than 50-100MB. I know that is normal while running all these apps at once, but once I fully quit all my apps I still see only about 100MB free. Maybe I'm missing something here but when I'm running zero applications more than I originally did as soon as OS X boots up, shouldn't that extra 500MB be back? I've noticed once I surpass the 1GB mark, OS X does free up some space somehow, but not too much. I know that restarting the computer fixes this, but I don't wanna restart while I'm in the middle of something, e.g. downloading files. Any comments/suggestions? [/QUOTE]
