I have to say i os x loves ram.
I have a standard cube with over a gig, and it runs pretty happily
with Tiger.
Tiger doesn't feel as fast as panther in some ways, but i see a lot
less of the beach ball.

Good point. My G3 iBook used to grind to a halt after about a month
when I used Panther with 384MB - when I upped RAM to 640MB it was
much better in this repect (I think I got to the point when only
OSX updates required restarts). I also suspect that after one of
the early 10.3.x updates things improved quite a bit too - maybe
there were some memory leaks.
My Mac mini has 512MB and starts struggling after a couple of
weeks, although just restarting Firefox seems to help quite a bit.
Adding more RAM will have to wait until I'm a bit braver.
