1Gb to 3Gb Ram increase for WebStar/Lasso on OS X

Posted by on November 8, 2005

I added 2 1Gb sticks to our 1.8 Ghz PowerMac today in order to take care of the memory needs of Lasso since when Lasso was using a lot of memory, only a few megabytes of free RAM were available to the OS. The nice side-effect of this extra RAM is that WebStar and WebStar Lasso calls are much faster. Adding 2 Gigabytes of RAM to a machine isn’t that expensive these days (only $199 for 2 1Gb sticks at Fry’s), and it’s good to see OS X and OS X apps taking advantage of the extra RAM.
