OS X is a virtual memory operating system (behind the scenes it is Unix). Consequently, the memory available to a program is virtually unlimited. Physical memory is "extended" by swapping memory out to disk. Therefore, free disk space becomes very important. How much space is free on your startup disk? However much is free is basically your limit on how much virtual memory you have. So If you only only have 1GB free, you only have 1GB available in addition to the amount of physical memory you have. The advantage of more physical memory is physical memory is very fast compared to using the disk as virtual memory. Disk reads and writes are relatively very slow so having more physical speed things up by reducing the virtual memory disk accessed. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
