[QUOTE="neilf, post: 682843, member: 53279"] Hi all, I know this topic has come up a lot in the past and I have done a lot of searching for answers. I think I understand the different types of memory utilisation (active, wired etc.) but I still have 3 questions: 1. How much "page outs" would indicate more RAM required? 2. What is a good working ratio between page ins/page outs? 3. How much "inactive memory" would indicate more RAM required? In a past thread someone suggested it would be a good idea for a mod to develop a sticky for this whole RAM/memory subject. I second that. And if I knew more about it I would write it. I have attached my memory usage for a 2.8 iMac. Thanks for any help. N. [ATTACH=full]8934[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
