I didn't know that Mac OS would take so much of RAM. I'm running SL on MBP 13' with 2.26 CPU and 2GB DDR3 ram. Today I was checking the activity monitor and found out that only ~150 MB of RAM is available. I was just running Firefox, iTunes, Adium and Tweetie. Firefox would take up to 100 MB. I should have upgrade the RAM when I order it. Now I'm in dilemma of upgrading the ram because I already have 1 GB x2 RAM. If I want to upgrade to 4 GB, I would need to remove both ram and what am I gonna do with that two unless I could trade in. Btw, SL doesn't have 3GB ram limit as Windows 32bits yeah?

QUOTE(daydreaming @ Oct 8 2009, 12:25 PM) firefox, even in windows, eats up a lot of RAM esp if u have plenty of plugins installed. so i don think it's just applicable to Mac OS. now i am having 6 tabs in Firefox...consuming like 200MB  and this is windows XP I accept the fact that FF is a Mem hogger but what I meant was I was surprised to find out the remaining ammount of memory with just a few apps running.

Hi,
Its been quite long since I'm gone from here. Recently, I bought a Mini Display port to DVI adapter to hook my MBP with the external monitor.
Now, I want to have video output to VGA monitors so I was looking for DVI-D to VGA connectors in the computers and still couldn't find one.
Do you guys think I could possibly get one from Lowyat? Or there's no such connector at all? Coz I read on Apple.com that this connector only carries single digital link. Advice me and guide me please.

QUOTE(kwekeugene @ Mar 1 2010, 06:33 PM) You'll need the Mini Display Port to VGA convertor. A normal DVI to VGA convertor won't work because the DVI out only carries a digital signal. Means another RM 99 I should have bought the Mini Display to VGA in the first place.
