I like that the 2GB kits are finally becoming affordable, now I just need to come up with the money... FYI, my average system load looks something like this: User 1: Eudora Safari (lots of tabs/windows open) MS Word X-Windows running some xterms and Pan (USENET Reader) iTunes Activity Monitor Additional apps can be either DTP (Adobe) or Video (Apple) User 2: MS Entourage Safari Occasionally another app such as MS Word or iTunes With 10.3.x my biggest memory hog was almost always Safari. I've already noticed that 10.4 seems to be far better at cleaning up memory, but I'm not sure how this applies to Safari yet. Zane
