How many apps can your computer run?

[reberto]

Open every app on your computer and then do an Expose and take a screenshot. This will get VERY intresting.
Oh and buy the way, yes, I am running Panther

craziest i've tried is 50-ish. i just went to my apps folder and selected all, and ddouble click. didn't crash.

 

[risc]

That isn't all of them but I didn't want to dive in to a bunch of folders, and most of my games run fullscreen so I didn't open them.

 

[mad jew]

risc, that should go in the Switchers Forum.

Yes, that is amazing. Wow.

Not bad for my little 12" 'book.

 

[Platform]

Give way for the Quads

100+

Here's mine.

 

[iGary]

55 apps.

All this depends on how much ram is installed in the Mac and how fast the HDD is. Kinda pointless really.

 

[ahunter3]

True, but I'll play anyhow. Here's 40 apps running concurrently on an 8 year old PowerBook with 512 MB.

 

[bursty]

On the PB...

I'm surprised Lacero hasn't participated in this thread yet - I've seen some pretty impressive Expose screengrabs from her in previous threads!

So far I think I like iGary's the best... although risc's is pretty impressive as well...

Here's mine, on an iBook G4 with 768 MB. What amazed me is that I could still work in all the apps, no problem, with a bit of lag, but nothing so annoying that I couldn't get work done. I tried to open a real file in all the apps instead of just opening them up with blank windows. I could have opened a lot more apps, but this is WAY more than I typically work with, so I thought it was impressive enough.

On My iBook, has 512 ram.
Expose ran smothly after everything was done launching.
According to My count 60 apps running, havent counted the windows though.

 

[ryannel2003]

On my eMac with 1.25GHz G4 and 768MB RAM, I think I had 53 apps running the other day. I have a picture of it that I'll post later!

Is that window with Earth in it Google Earth?

 

[~Shard~]

Wow, this thread is great for anyone wanting to steal some personal information... what programs people have, the name of their local disks, what apps, music, movies they like, their address book contents...

 

[rickvanr]

No idea how many apps I have, but I opened almost all of them, except games.

edit; Anyone want to count?

 

[GFLPraxis]

My school computer rocks.

 

[Uma888]

Lost Count of how many apps were open, Looks good, uses 1.08gb of RAM , you can just about see me in photobooth

I could have cheated by opening every folder up and have multiple finder windows open, but i kept it so that one window = one unique app
