Can someone help me decipher this screen cap:
I'm not sure what the Inactive chunk refers to - is that available to me or does an application have it looked away for its' own use or what?
I am extremely shocked if that is telling me that out of 2GB RAM there is only 31MB free!
FYI: I have Thunderbird, Firefox (single Tab) and Adium running - there are a few widgets as well: Address Book, iStat, Weather Bug, iTunes and Google Search. Everything else is standard Mac Stuff that runs at start up.
Oh yeah; what is the wired part referring to as well?
