Leave it on. Starting with MacOS 9, Apple had all memory functions run through the VM engine, so turning it off still gives you a performance hit without the benefits. Earlier OS's had separate code for each, and a big gain could be realized by turning VM off when you had plenty of memory and small apps.

That's LOTS more than "enough", but it depends entirely on what you're doing, which you haven't told us. For heavy Photoshop etc. you might still want it. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
