![]() the problem with that is I dont have an external hard drive, and I dont know whether it will make much difference. I contacted the guys at apple technical support, and they were pretty useless. I did a few of the things suggested on the threads, such as repairing disk permissions, but that still made no difference to the inactive memory. I did have a look at the other thread and it does seem like I am not the only one, thats why I am reluctant to buy new RAM, because I feel it maybe a snow leopard issue. on average if i use safari, word, and mail, and I can get pageouts of around 500MB, sometimes more, which doesnt seem right to me. When on leopard I could run the virtual machine perfectly fine without any issues.Įven without using fusion, the pageouts really rack up. In fact I have stopped using it due to the terrible performance. Regarding my use of fusion, I am running windows XP on it, and I use it very lightly. Well youve both given fairly different answers. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? The other main issue is when I use memory intensive programs such as VMware fusion, the computer completely locks up i.e the spinning ball appears and I cannot do anything with the computer for about 2-3 minutes. 2GB is really not enough if you run fusion and something else. run them all.Īlso, note that Fusion will lock up a certain amount of RAM for its use and won't release it to other OS X programs. boot from the original install disk that came with your macbook (not the SL disk) and hold "d" at the chime. I would suspect something is wrong with your RAM. You can purge inactive memory by hand by entering but if another app need memory and there is no free memory it should automatically use inactive one. those programs can reuse that data while that memory is not demanded by other apps. inactive memory is essentially the same thing as free memory except it contains data written there by programs. the system ought to dip into inactive memory when it runs out of free memory all by itself. Does anyone have any solutions on how to activate the inactive memory? I have limited knowledge on these issues, but I am fairly certain that is not meant to happen. When I look at activity monitor my inactive memory is very high, sometimes upto 700MB, yet the computer is still paging out. ![]() To be more specific it appears to be with the inactive memory. ![]() Iv got a macbook aluminium 13" with 2GB RAM.After upgrading to snow leopard i have been having numerous memory issues, which I did not experience with leopard.is this a universal problem or is it just my macbook? ![]()
