Macs Love RAM

I just added a 512mb chip of RAM to my Powerbook, for a total of 768mb now. Wow does it ever make a difference! Everything is faster from loading web pages to running a Photoshop filter. I had Safari, Mail, iChat, NetNewsWire, Photoshop, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and Preview all open, and could switch between them instantaneously with no lag at all, even if a filter was rendering or something in Photoshop. I also played a simple little game that I have on here with all of that going on and there was no lag in the game at all. Before it would occasionally lag when I just Safari, Mail, and iTunes open, which isn’t much of a load. If you have a Mac, definitely get as much RAM as you can, at least 512mb, it makes a huge difference!
