I usually run Netscape, Terminal, Entourage, MeetingMaker (corporate calendar and a hog, I suppose) and OmniOutliner concurrently on my Powerbook (Pismo/256MB RAM).
When it seems sluggish (that is, when I see the "rainbow pizza"), I usually start up "System Manager" and put its memory display in the dock. Then I often see paging at rates in excess of 100 pages/second. Sometimes the "spike" lasts 5 or 10 seconds. So maybe 256MB is not enough, but 384 is? -- Joshua On 1/17/03 10:20 AM, "Eric Hildum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think the 512MB suggestion is coming from a small group of people who keep > an exceptional number of windows open, and run a lot of applications > simultaneously.
