Hi all Here's a question that not really supermac specific, but might help out supermac users esp if their machine hasn't got tons of RAM in it.
Are there any utilities available which help with the Mac's propensity to fragment its system RAM? I mean, this box has been up for six hours, I've run six or seven apps on it, and there is 30MB of fragmented memory! On the Amiga was the shareware utility 'executive' which among other things gave the Amiga dynamic task scheduling. Of course, it had the advantage of working with Amiga's Exec to begin with, but executive helped with memory fragmentation also. It was highly configurable and gave the amiga a very linux like feel in terms of controlling tasks, memory etc. Does anything like this exist for the Macintosh? Since the Classic OS lacks preemptive multitasking (many an Amigan got a big charge out of that..) it would be a bigger job to write such a scheduler for it, but could it be done? I should probably throw down for a G4, a Mac Radeon, OS X and be happy, huh? Thanks Bolton -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
