Hi all,
there is something I am not able to understand. After I upgraded RAM to 4Gb (from 2Gb) with original Apple RAM (a lots of money!!!) I ran an H/W check (the short and the long one) at next boot and everything was OK (NFF). In spite of this I noted that there were 2Gb less on my HDD and I do not really understand why. Do you have any idea on the reason of this event?
Was it because of the H/W check? Or something odd after RAM upgrade?
Please let me know why this happened (if you got an idea) and what I could do in order to recover these 2GB (I have plenty of space now but I would prefer to have 2Gb of photos / mp3 instead of stolen space).
Thanks

the 2 gig was moved to a hidden file for when you put your laptop into sleep/suspend mode as when your computer is in a suspended state all the contents of your ram is copied into this file. more ram means larger suspend file

anytime. actually most users never even notice the drop in available storage, nice call
LESS HDD space after RAM upgrade or HW check?
