'doh. Thanks.

Well, I have 3 machines running. Version 4.7 is at 8, 5.0 is at 8 and 5.2 is at 24. Trillian holds rock solid at 11, with a bunch of added goodies running.

I'm guessing it's just the new code which accounts for the memory increase for this particular version.

Fjark all of you for sparking my curiosity on this one.

OK, well i have the newest aim, i maxed my profiles, put on all the bells and whistles, and have my buddy list maximized and it takes up, get this 7mb. So all of you should give all your pc's to me....No i have NO idea why that is seriously.

I have no idea why this is sooooo much memory usage. It seems all the people using 4.x are doing just fine. I think I will just use Trillian or find an older AIM client. Trillian's fonts and colors can be changed, too, I hear. Hmm

trillian doesnt have the cool profiles though.

oh well..

I've contacted AOL about the inconsistent memory usage. We'll see if/when they respond to my inquiry.

Well then, I'll just ensure that the answer they give you doesn't have to be a double post
