Jan 26, 2015 6:35 AM in response to greg sahliby Questions.....,On a regular basis, I obtain an average of 1.00 GB and once I clean my RAM (Which is like every 10 mins), ig raises to about 2.30GB... When I try to use Imovies, FinalCut Pro or Garageband, my RAM space decreases to an average of 900 MB... The laptop also begins to heat up a lot. When I go into my Activity Monitor and check there, The repot does not show any faults... If there is a way to increase my RAM productivity while using these apps, Please let me know... thx...
