Guess what I found in Activity Monitor!

Not sure if this is new or has been there, but here goes.

I was poking around in Activity Monitor, and found the attached processes. Three are 64-bit Intel, something I thought only occurred with SL. The other is PPC, which I assume is using Rosetta.

I'm using a 2 GHz mid-'07 Mac mini.

Thanks for looking. Again, I'm not sure if this is there for everybody or if this is something new.

Yeah, folks have commented on this before.

Oh well.

That PPC process is taking up a crap load of virtual memory. Is it safe to kill? It looks like an application, but I don't remember downloading it or ever seeing it.

I have no idea what that is, but when I googled it, people were talking about kernel panics and such.

It's a process sleeper app for a lexmark printer. I'm guessing you have a lexmark on the network?

I tried to use the a Lexmark Z600 series from a Dell. It didn't work. Since then, we've gotten an HP C6380 that connects to the network, without a computer.

Cool. I deleted the app. Sometimes my Mac does wake for odd reasons. More often than not, I sleep it, then come back in the morning to find it running the screensaver. It could have been that app, but I do have cats...

Sounds like you have a leftover file from when you installed the lexmark.

Yup. I hope this takes care of those sleep problems.

That Lexmark was a POS. The ink cartridges cost almost as much as the printer, and the quality of the prints and the printer itself weren't too great.

Anyone got anything on the 64-bit processes?

Run the included "Chess" program and look in the process list in "Activity Monitor". Not just SL....

Hmm... Does it run in 64-bit to compute the next move faster? It also used 3.05 GB of virtual memory .

Think thats bad? Look what activity monitor told me iTunes was using one day!

I read about a similar problem with Mail.

I think it was a quirk with activity monitor. It was flickering back and forth between 16,777,216.00 TB and a more believable value. I thought it was humorous, so I took a screen shot.

i had a picture of it using X amounts of TBs too but i cant find it
