You must be pretty gentle with your system. firefox all by itself can be pretty memory hoggy. I'm only using 128 Meg at the moment but last week the whole system (2G RAM Ubuntu) was getting pretty laggy and when I checked, firefox was using well over 1Gig of RAM. Added to the normal system (900 Meg right now) and I had used up my 2G easy. I personally stick 8G into anything I run at home, just a nice round number.:) But, run OS X with a greedy firefox and a parallels session, crossover and a few other greedy tasks (itunes anyone) and I'm eating into that 8G pretty good.
I doubt I'll be running 16 Gig next year, but I'll be using a good deal of the 8G I already have.
He's undead now??
This'll secure Apple's stock for all time, Steve will always be a part of the company, a shuffling flesh eating part of the company but a part none-the-less.
