I got a question regarding memory usage in macbook, well OS X 10.4.8.
I recently installed 1gb ram on my macbook, and of course, it runs alot smoother. So i opened up photoshop, i saw the memory usage shoots from 350MB to 600MB out of the avaliable 1024. When i quit Photoshop, the memory usage stays at 600MB, or maybe dropped a little to 580MB. When i open Photoshop again after that, it shoots up to 700MB!
I am just wondering, if i continute to open and reopen photoshop, wouldn't i be using up my memory very shortly? If that's the case, 2gb wouldn't be enough! Consider i have other programs such as firefox and dreamweaver running too.
Is there a way to free the memory? Or is there a trick behind this? Sorry i am new to mac, and i just find this little weird.
Thanks for any help in advance! :clap:
