[QUOTE="wyager, post: 1220738, member: 195253"] @chscag Activity monitor is useless for checking which kexts are hogging the ram. It only shows processes that the user "should" interfere with. Thanks! That's what I wanted. LOL-[CODE]com.apple.Dont_Steal_Mac_OS_X[/CODE]. Subtle. You are right, everything running is an apple kext. This does not explain why over an eighth of my RAM is now being thrown away on top of the fourth already used by the OS. The biggest culprits are com.apple.kext.ATISupport and com.apple.ATIRadeonX3000, but together they only use only 3.8 megs of RAM (0x11b000+0x297000 bytes). ***? The OS is now using 1.8 gigs of RAM total. :Angry: [/QUOTE]
