    can someone explain this to me.. the title says what i want explained. i want to make my mbook run faster. from time to time i get a beachball when doing things and it bothers me. would paging and inactive ram have an affect on system speed?

    sorry if there is a thread on this..

    When the page outs come close to being equal to the page ins, you need more RAM. Yours are fine.
