To be honest i didnt read it all.. but then i did read it and it was all over my head. Any way i think its a lack of ram. I run 2.8Ghz dual core 4Gb ram 256video

Im not exactly concerned with performance at this time being lvl 40 and running instances but i reallly hope RAM comes alot cheaper when I get to lvl 80. Im sure there alot apple wizards here, somewhere.

edit: so i read again and yeah interesting. sure you got 512 video card?
