10.4: Quickly free up RAM used by Dashboard widgets
Authored by: markformac on Sep 30, '05 02:00:52AM
I think everyone needs to keep in mind that Apple computers are designed to use the most RAM possible for every application. And this RAM fluctuates depending on what Application needs to use more RAM. There are two recommendations I have for those who want to limit RAM usage: 1. An Application AppStop - http://developer.mabwebdesign.com/appstop.html This Application appears in the Menu bar and you can select the Applications you want to be "paused" so they don't use your RAM. 2. A Widget Preference pane - http://www.ego-systems.com/Products/widgetsprefpane.html Gives you the option to disable Dashboard. Allows you to activate, deactivate and delete widgets. Also allows you to option to allows widget downloading to the Desktop as well as changing the Dashboard's menu background.
