[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1663904, member: 175845"] I didn't notice what OS X version the OP is running nor how much RAM is installed or what Activity Monitor is showing, but as suggested lose the the misleading crapware, and if needed do some web searching and as some recent Mac articles on memory will state, basically if your Mac is taxed and it has RAM available, the installed RAM is not even being used efficiently, and definitely not if there's some left spare but not doing anything. Some will have to think about that for a while probably before it makes any sense. And probably still click the feelgood utility to release and free up all that "free unused RAM". Right!!! ;) [/QUOTE]
