[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1647463, member: 56379"] If you mean you've never been interested in gaming…you know how it is…to each their own. Some folks never get into gaming.:) And when I say gaming…I'm not talking about traditional board or card games like chess, checkers, and solitaire. But much more involved, engrossing, and sucking the life out of you stuff!;) Not that the games I mentioned are not challenging or fun. They just aren't the same kinds of games such as MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games).;) And don't think that it's an age-dependent thing either. I've been computer gaming since the late 1970's. And I know folks here on Mac-Forums ranging from teenagers to their 70's are "gamers"!:) Anyway. Like I mentioned. I think that it's possible that these complex online games (which are VERY heavy on graphics & video)…and are constantly uploading & downloading info to the computer that's playing them. Are continuously transferring so much information (both ways)…that this could certainly play a big role in how quickly the swap file grows. - Nick [/QUOTE]
