the ram usage situation in mac os really does blow. luckily ram is super
cheap right now - but - i hear its gonna go back up soon so buy now...

hmmm... what kind of cpu do you have lee? i noitce 0 lag on my g4/400 - but
- oddly enough - i have noticed that the two g4s at school exhibit VERY
different performance than mine at home - same model bought at the same time
- granted i have more ram at home and a slightly different hardware/software
situation but i am the one who setup those machines at school (so i dont
think its a config issue) and their performance is drastically slower then
mine. they take forever to wake up from sleep. they take *forever* to boot
up - waiting on a grey screen for like 3-4 minutes (i've checked to make
sure its not looking for a network server, turned off the memory test, few
other things.. any ideas???) and in general don't perform as well as the one
i have at home. weird.
