will 2 gig ram be enough for snow leopard? to run it well? i know it says 1 gig minimum
4GB is hardly enough for me when i use the iMac, 2GB in my main computer (MBP) is NOWHERE near near enough.
all my RAM is being used and im only running safari (5 tabs), adium, transmission, word itunes, mail etcetc.
when i start running parallels + FCE + DVD studio Pro + 2 user accounts -- boy is it slow!
Not for me... Safari uses 1 GB then kernel task uses 512 so that leaves 512 for everything else
G5's took 4 or 8 GB
I'm not sure how you use safari, but I also use safari (+/- 7 tabs), adium, itunes, and mail simultaneously and I never wind up using all 2GB of my RAM. dmmcintye3: are you leaving safari open for days at a time? I always quit when I'm done using it for the time being.
i dont close it because i leave articles, information etc open overnight/whenever. my computer hardly gets turned off let alone given a RAM Rest.
atm (using the apps i had on b4 still) i have 260mb free, and 550mb inactive.. thats just for basic apps. im pretty demanding i guess, need...more...power!
I never used to close Safari, but now I do daily, I just use the History => Reopen all windows from last session. I get all my windows back, and my ram gets a bit of a refresh.

My nephew is a developer, gave me his copy of Snow Leopard, I installed it. Et voila!
It is available to paid ADC members.
