High Inactive Memory
Hi
Looking for some advice. I have a Macbook Pro and have recently upgraded its 4gb to 8gb. There hasnt been much difference to be honest however when in Activity Monitor I do seem to get a high Inactive Memory volume.
At the moment it reads
Free - 2.76gb
Wired - 1.06gb
Active - 2.30gb
Inactive - 1.88gb
Page In - 4.48gb
Page Out - 2.0mb
I understand that Inactive is RAM reserved for recent applications in order for them to open quicker, however I have rebooted and the only application I have open is Safari and yet still 1.88gb Inactive memory, surely this is too high
Can anyone offer any advice? Could this be faultly memory?
Also how high should VM memory be?
Thanks All
