[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 643170, member: 51635"] With Safari, Colloquy, Messenger, and iTunes open, my MBP is sitting at just under 900MB in use. Safari is only using 125MB of that. I've run Activity Monitor on a cold boot, with no apps, and it's used about 500MB. One of the misleading things with Vista is that the various caching mechanisms all reserve memory that isn't really being used. Vista also will free up some of this cached RAM if it's needed. This cache is proportional to total system RAM, so while my Vista x64 on my 4GB laptop chews up 800MB at idle, Vista x32 in a 1GB RAM virtual machine uses about 300MB. [/QUOTE]
