[QUOTE="walmartconnect, post: 390854, member: 21669"] I think I know what he is saying. Your macbook probably does "idle" at 512 or less megs of ram. OS + all necessary core processes + widgets = whatever 512 or less. You will definately want all of the rest for [I]everything else[/I] that you do. Running several applications at once, watching a movie, listening to music, whatever, will add up quickly. Get as much ram as your computer can take, I always say. Do it yourself and save some money though :$ [/QUOTE]
