well, when i upgraded, i went from 320 to over 800 - this indeed made a difference in my performance. the os doesn't have nearly as many pageouts, and it seems to cache things like menus, etc.. also, it allows me to listen to itunes, or even rip a cd while phuking around in photoshop. before, i couldn't do both very easily. is my machine faster? i don't think so, but i do feel that my apps launch faster (probably b/c no pageouts have to occur). --alan On Monday, November 25, 2002, at 07:46 AM, Simon Meyer wrote: > I max'd out my memory too and didn't notice any performance increase > > Simon > > > On Monday, November 25, 2002, at 03:16 PM, Daniel Compo wrote: >> >> By the way, I just took the advice of a list member and bought three >> matching 512Mb sticks for my 450 Cube.
