Why does my mac have page outs when I have inactive memory?
- by Chace Fields
From what I've read, page outs are a sign that you don't have enough RAM. I have also read that if you have inactive memory available, then the machine will use that memory when starting up new programs.
I have about 2GB of inactive memory and very little available memory. Once this happens, my page outs go up. Why is this and do I need more memory?
I have 8GB of RAM. I'm running VMware Fusion 5 with 2GB allotted to Windows 8.
