Hi Hiro,
Remember that VSize is the amount of address space that has been allocated to a process. It is not the amount of Virtual Memory that the process is actually using. You now have more memory in your machine...so it really isn't strange that you have more address space being allocated. There are memory management algorithms that figure all of this out but I don't know enough about them to say exactly how they work.

I just bought G5 Dual-2.5, which comes with only 512MB. I bought 1GB to make it 1.5GB (still not enough, but I am running out of my budget!).
Just for my curiosity, I compared FinMac's vm amount before/after adding 1GB. The result was very interesting.

vm is bigger after I added 1GB even though %MEM is way smaller as expected, now why is that? The every test was done after powercycle, of course.
