Just want to add my voice to the "more RAM" chorus. I went from 256
to 1 gig and noticed a nice difference. I did that after one of the RAM
monitors showed I was using more than 300 meg and was paging out to
virtual memory regularly.
I'd also add that a 5400 rpm drive made a small but noticeable
difference. I went from the stock 12 gig unit to a 32 gig IBM, but I'm
sure those new IBMs with the huge RAM cache are even better. I spread the
two upgrades about 6 months apart, so just when I'd gotten used to the RAM,
I got the HD boost. Hoping 10.2 is my next boost.
Good luck,
joe f.
