Thanks. Just toying with the idea of upgrading to Mountain Lion, but don't want to slow up my laptop. I have a 2GB Macbook. Is it worth it in your opinion. Reviews are mixed.

If you do some web surfing and email, then 2GB will be fine, but these days 4GB is better, and if you can get to 8GB with out much trouble, it would be even better.

Thanks for that. Apple's own article about Activity Monitor fails to tell you how to find it.
