I recently started to notice that I’m having an awful shortage of RAM after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes. I remember back when I was using 6.x iTunes used no more than around 30 MB of RAM. Now that I have an iPod touch, I have to upgrade to 7.6. I don’t mind upgrading at all. As a matter of fact I am an upgrade freak. But when that upgrade causes the program to use 200MB of RAM, that’s an issue. My specs are:

* Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 4.0GHz
* 4GB Crucial Ballistix Low Latency RAM
* nVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX * 2
* 6356 Songs with around ~85% with Cover Art

iTunes Memory Usage

I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver… frequently simoultaneously. And I can’t have software hogging up already scarce RAM.

How is everyone else’s RAM usage using iTunes 7?
