[X4U] Re:What about widgets I wanna know

[Norman Cohen]

I am running 8 dashboard widgets, with real memory allocations of  
between 2.88 and 13.05 MB. This is nowhere near the memory  
requirements of Photoshop or the other widgets mentioned. I just  
launched the Calendar widget and it is using 8.5 MB. I am running  
10.4.2, Powerbook 1.5Ghz, 1gb RAM.
