Two questions on MBP

[Laughingman13]

1. How do you use Activity monitor to detect memory leak on MBP?

2. WHere do you get Iklear? Is there anyway to get it at a retail rather than ONline?

1. How do you use Activity monitor to detect memory leak on MBP?

look at processes memory footprint and see as it grows. Safari or other apps should be consuming large gobs of ram, and if they do w/o giving it back, then you have a memory leak. To be honest, most apps don't seem to suffer from it at least I haven't noticed it

2. WHere do you get Iklear? Is there anyway to get it at a retail rather than ONline?

Apple.com? I got my last batch at the apple store, so I assume its available online there as well.

Thanks. What happen if you use Google Chrome? Does it consume a lot of memory?


2. Is it expensive at the apple store? How much did you buy it for?

I don't use google chrome, I never cared for the tabs on the top type of UI so I cannot answer about its resource consumption.

It wasn't overly expensive there but like anything else at the apple store you do pay a premium.

I found some iklear over at amazon
