[QUOTE="GK27V6, post: 877771, member: 61812"] Am I the only one doing fine on one gig of RAM? For me anyway, running just Leopard takes up like only 400MB of RAM, and I often run a lot of applications at once, VMs included. As of this very moment, I am running two web browsers with five tabs open, running iTunes and playing songs (I read that in previous posts people telling how many songs they have - I don't think this is relevant to memory, but just in case it is, I have 3400), also running MSN, and Transmission is transferring data with seven torrents. That, currently takes up 750MB. Only when I run a virtual OS where I'd give it just under 500MB of memory, does my computer slow down a little, but not far enough that I feel an extra gig or two of RAM is necessary. Granted though, I am upgrading my machine to 2GB next week. I suspect that then running my virtual OS's that my machine would run as smoothly as it does now without running a virtual OS. [/QUOTE]
