I found this by Googling the words MAC+task manager On this website: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-146805.html (posted by) TrumanApple quoted stridey's post on Aug 31, 2005, 12:27 PM (Begin quoted material) In windows, you can press Control + Alt + Delete to bring up a task manager that says exactly what programs are hogging what portion of your RAM. I was wondering how i could do the same in OS X tiger. I have a rev A 1.42ghz mini with 1gb of ram and average around 250-300 in free ram... that means that i am using like 750 mbs or so of ram constantly. I want to know where this is going. For instance, right now i have safari, mail, adium, and finder open and have 300 mb of free ram, meaning 724 used or so. Where is this RAM going. PS: i coudlnt be happier with the performance of this machine, but would never reccommend anyone running under 1gb (all users that is). The answer given was:: /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app is what you want. :) (End quoted material) On 7/26/08, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > In a message dated 7/26/08 8:44:22 AM, [email protected] writes: > > > > Also, depending on your installation choices (and some are not chosen > > by the user but are "forced" upon us), you may have various AOL > > components loading at Start-Up.
