How much memory am I using?

[wakerider017]

Hey Just want to know how to read how much memory I am using...

(I know how to tell in Win XP, But this is confusing...)


Here is a SS:

I am thinking about upgrading to 2GB as I use photoshop and other intensive programs frequently...

You're using roughly 550MB of RAM. Here's a good page on Apple's site about reading Activity Monitor. Basically Inactive Memory is RAM that was being used by a process/app, is now not needed, but is still assigned to that process/app just in case it is needed again. However, it can easily be overwritten and used for a different process/app.
