Feel the love Tarale.  I recently upgraded from 256DDR to 768, and I've definently noticed a difference, especially with games like Halo PC. Still, I'm saving up some cheese for my own computer here soon ... I'm going for 1.5gigs of Ram, or around there.  |

*whistles* Now that's not a bad feature at all.  Then again, I'm extremely used to the taskbar and Alt+Tab'ing my way through windows... but I can't complain about that. Sweet, Apple. |

| My old computer had 128 MBs of SD-RAM, that one here has 512 MB of DDR-RAM and I hardly ever used more than the half of it. I like programs using very low amounts of RAM. A Firefox with several tabs doesn't take ore than 40 to 60 MBs of RAM after a longer session (only when I opened 277 tabs in one window once, I noticed a "slight" slow-down |

| Right now, Windows does not benefit from over 512MB of RAM in standard use - web browsing, email, AIM, etc. Games don't benefit from over 1GB. However, video editing software and the like can benefit from over 4GB of RAM (You need an AMD 64 or other 64-bit processor to go over 4GB). I have 1GB of RAM and I'm more than content. I even disabled the swap file for a long time - until Adobe bitched that I needed it to install Premier. Right now the most MAJOR performance gain I can get is a new video card - I'd get over 10x the performance in some games/situations if I got a top-of-the-line card over my GF4 Ti4400! The next would be CPU, replacing my 3200+ with an overclocked socket 939 A64 would get me up to 1.5x more (50%) in some instances like encoding etc, and 1.2x or so (20%) in games. The next would actually be a HARD DRIVE - I'd notice drastic speedups in boot time and heavy file reading/writing if I replaced my ATA133 drives with a SATA WD Raptor! RAM would barely benefit me at all... maybe 1-2% in games, because there is more than enough system RAM to handle the AI, map, etc. It's the video card that is the bottleneck!

That program sounds cool. I wonder if I could make something like it for Windoze?  (It does have the Minimize feature though. Hit Win+M to minimize everything, or Win+D to just bring the desktop to the front, then hit it again to go back to normal.) |

| OS X runs on 128MB of RAM, but saying it's acceptable on 128MB is like saying one of those 'vegetable' paralyzed people live an entertaining, fun and enjoyable life all the time. OS X absolutely flies with 512MB and over, and preformance goes steadily up until atleast 1.5GB, and the max on the iBook is 1.25GB so you really have nothing to lose. OS X also caches a LOT to disk which is both good and bad. On my Powerbook G3 with a 4GB HD (hey, it was big in 1998, okay?) and 1GB free space, which pretty much is filled up after around 10 hours of effective usage. As for Expos |

| Ctrl-Tab also works in Gaim. Unfortunately, I can't use it because KDE is hogging that combo for switching destops (anyone know how to turn it off short of changing the source?). I believe the combo for switching between windows and tabs first came around with Netscape, but I could be mistaken. | |||
