Tired of how slow my G4 was, I just bought a MacBook and installed

I wasn't expecting this to make all that much difference with
REALbasic performance, but in fact, it's significantly faster.
This appears to be mostly because my old computer had 768MB RAM,
and would wind up swapping quite a bit. With REALbasic,
NetNewsWire Lite, Mail, and Firefox running, I'm using almost
1.2GB RAM, so it's no wonder.
I'm using a G5 PPC iMac 20"- 2MHz - 1GB Ram - OSX 10.4.7.
I have open:
Mail, Safari, NetNewsWire Lite 2.1, REALbasic 2006r3, REALbasic
5.5.5 OSX, Classic 9.2, REALbasic5.5.5 Classic.
My computer is using 295 MB of Ram and has 728 MB free memory.
If you are using 1.2 GB of Ram with less running, something is
pretty weird.
The Rosetta daemon (called "translated") sucks up a lot of memory
So non-Intel apps have an impact and having 2Gb or RAM is almost a
requirement as soon as you use anything not native.
