[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 341371, member: 12177"] If there are 900MB of "unused" memory, that means your computer is basically reserving most of that as "Inactive memory" that certain programs that recently used RAM (I would assume Parallels in your case) get first dibs at. However, if a program needs the RAM, the system will take it from that inactive RAM and let it use it. 2GB is not an issue, trust me. [/QUOTE]
