Right now I have Adium, Google Chrome, iTunes, MacVim, iTerm and a rails server running and I'm showing 2.59GB used. If I need to do any work in xcode or PS there goes another 1+ GB used depending on the project I open. I also work with .net using a win7 VM...another 2GB gone.
8GB is the minimum amount of RAM I can get by with right now given my type of work.
New user here too...where do I go to see how much RAM is being used?
