Top 10 memory hoggers on a Mac

A lot of great things has been said about Mac products: they're innovative, great, and all that. But a great product is useless if the user doesn't live up to his end of the bargain (such as not installing a decent anti-virus or cluttering your RAM with useless apps). Anyhow, we're deviating from the topic here, someone over at MadMac did a little investigative report on the top 10 Mac memory hoggers. Here are the apps that made that list:Mac RAM

  1. Safari - 487.79Mb
  2. Photoshop - 258.71Mb
  3. GarageBand - 201.59Mb
  4. NeoOffice - 154.96Mb
  5. Pages - 144.88Mb
  6. iMovie HD - 132.48Mb
  7. Keynote - 128.52Mb
  8. iWeb - 110.89Mb
  9. iDVD - 92.11Mb
  10. iPhoto - 91.87Mb
These are averages, so others who might snoop about it might get a different result. If you noticed, most of these applications are Apple's own apps. All of them are very powerful and useful products, but then again, power does come with a price and in this case, the price you have to pay is the massive memory space it'll occupy. This doesn't make the Mac bad because if you think of it, Photoshop on Windows would probably use up a lot of memory too. Maybe Apple should give more RAM with their new line of computers.

Wow, this topic is so boring that no one even tries to become the first poster.

Better luck for me.
