Use RAM doubler 3 and don't ask for more RAM, just keep the same. Then give all main apps 2-3 more times the max amount of RAM. RD will manage your memory very well at close to no performance cost. I did this for years and never had a trouble where RD was the culprit. If you don't won't to use RD3, set Apple VM to on, unless you're using realtime critical apps like audio ones or video like Final Cut, or Photoshop 5 and later, Indesign, GoLive, and other graphics heavy applications. Besides that type of applications, VM on give better performance. At least under 9.2.2 in my experience. A RAM disk could speed up browsing of course. Have you checked the cache in the browser. How long since you installed the OS? defragged the HD? Also check what extensions you're running. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
