On my temporary couch surfer powerbook g4, I cant live without firefox, remote desktop, and azureus (i know these are pc available).. when I'm messing with audio and beats, I love being able to load Bias Peak to trim samples

I know Azureus on the pc hogs alot of memory. Is it the same case for the mac.
Thanks

Azureus
MSN Messenger
Activity Monitor

As of today the new version claims Azureus has "Less memory footprint.
Most notably, torrent piece information is now removed from memory when not used."
Right now its using 99mb.

iTunes (privately shared library on my network from my desktop....great built in functionality)
VLC
Mail
iCal
Adium
Camino (browsing)
Shiira (alternate browser for some weird pages)
Photoshop CS3b
xTorrent (though they want me to pay now I think....must be out of beta, so I'll probably switch to Azureus)
Safari (for Rhapsody online....crashes a lot regardless of browser, so I isolate it)
Excel
Preview
Word
Dashboard
Remote Desktop (only every so often, usually access to files is all I need and I have that with shared folders)

Quicksilver looks sweet
