yes it is..some versions are better than others, but Safari luuurves it's RAM. Right now it's using 440MB real, 550 virtual on my system with one really plain-jane html page open (pure text, just a table full of links and a form). (I'm using Safari 5.0.3 on 10.6). I quit safari and opened just that page, and it's using 64megs real and 240 virtual. Best to just get more RAM, if you can. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
