When I used BIONIC with SETI years ago it didn't utilize a lot of ram. I was not expecting the current memory utilization. When I reduced the ram available in bionic the processing stopped. I increased it some and 1 of the 2 processes is now running, the other shows waiting for memory - it picks up once the system is idle. Guess I just expected this to run in 30 - 50 meg of ram like the old bionic. Not playing nice to me would mean something that takes more than a small percentage of system ram(5% -15%) on a pc that was expected to perform other tasks and this was low priory function. Please understand I am not knocking the process. I was concerned because I want to install this on various pcs and was worried it would bring some of the older systems to their knees to the point of system crashes. However I installed Rosetta on an older dell with 2ghz and 512mb of ram today and it seems to do just fine.

(Message 68798) Posted 13 Dec 2010 by Marshmellowman Post: Hello, Just installed BIONIC after being away for couple years. I am new to Rosetta. After setting up Rosetta I as shocked to see it running 2 services each using almost 400 mb each. I am running it in a Win28k x64 VM with 1536mb ram on a Hyper-V server. Rosetta is using almost 800mb which is half the ram in the VM. Is this normal? I would like to install this on over systems but I am definitely not going to if its going to use this kind of resource and not play nice with the system. Thanks, Todd
