Since Leopard is 64bit and generally OSX have much better memory management. Shouldn't apple use this as a advantage for all Mac system and put more memory in All of the Mac?

Memory are now very cheap and 2G should be standard. With OSX we dont have a limit of 4GB of Ram unlike XP or Vista which seems to have problem with addressing and properly makeing use of it.



This way it would also make the Mac more powerful then it looks and differentiate itself from PC with limited ram.

    Every system has a bottleneck that constrains its performance. For some it may be memory, for others, CPU, and for yet others it's bus speed.



    Adding resources that aren't constrained doesn't help performance much. If your computer is not thrasing at 1GB, you don't really need 2.
