[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 32168"] [b]sleep or off[/b] I very seldom turn mine off only when I am packing it to go somewhere and even then sometimes I just let it sleep. So far no problems. My wifes iMac is never off and only reboots if we udates a file that needs a reboot or the power kicks off, other then that it sleeps. Don't think there is much that can go wrong except you will wear out the power switch :o Not sure why you are rebooting to get more memory. I have 768 meg of ram and have never had a problem with it running low or anything so not sure why you feel the need. Are you running a program that moitors the system? I use iPulse and it gives a lot of information on the system and what is tieing up memory and page swapping etc. I have not had any problems on the Mac only on a PC desktop with Windoze :( [/QUOTE]
