[QUOTE="variation, post: 701612, member: 60038"] I have a eMac 1.25ghz I just installed 1GB RAM sticking. I now have a total of 1.25GB. I checked the Activity Monitor and with one app open say it be Firefox I'm at 756mb of RAM used, I have not added an programs since I installed the new RAM I have seen an imrovement in performance. What I can't understand is how can it be at 756mb used now and before I only had 256mb (unfortunately I never checked the Activty Monitor before installing the new RAM) I have checked all apps that are running in the Activity Monitor and all seems well, I'm thinking I can have a virus cause of this RAM spike the CPU usage is great rarely peaks. I have run ONYX and repaired the permission no improvement, sorry about the long message I just want to make sure I could cover everything before asking for help, anybody have any ideas? This is the reading from the Activity Monitor System Memory These numbers fluctuate by the second but stay in around this area. This is only running Firefox. I have tried Safari and the results are similar. Wired - 124.8mb Active 210.44mb Inactive - 454.03mb Used 784mb Free 493mb VM Size 2.37GB Page ins/outs 105593/190475 [/QUOTE]
