Am a registered user, this is first time for DA crash & freeze on restart…have MacBook, 512mb ram…free ram drops to 5mb when DA starts, and when DA freezes, it’s using 212mb…this is the first crash i’ve had…is there anyway to prevent DA from using this much ram…(by the way, will plug in more ram soon)

512 MB RAM really doesn’t cut it these days. Most of your RAM will be used just starting up the operating system. Although Apple’s Virtual Memory will kick in and allow processes to proceed, the computer will likely slow down, as VM involves swapping chunks of memory back and forth between RAM and disk swap files.

Things speed up substantially with 1 GB (which I think should be the minimum) and get speedy with 1.5 or 2 GB RAM.

The errors reported in Console result from the fact that HotService isn’t (yet) compatible with Intel Macs. No harm done – it just doesn’t load.

I use a free (donation ware) preference pane called MenuMeters. It places in the menu bar two useful pieces of information: the percentage loads on the CPU cores, and the amounts of RAM used and free. If I’m about to crank up a memory-intensive procedure and see that my free RAM is very low, I can speed things up by quitting and relaunching applications, or sometimes restarting the computer (which clears up the Virtual Memory swap files).
