find what's producing inactive memory It's likely a glitch, so Xcode and final cut run just fun on most machines :P |

find what's producing inactive memory I know it's not really a solution (hence why I posted it as a comment), but it can alleviate the problem temporarily in order to (at least) regain system responsiveness. I also suggest you look into disabling Dynamic Memory Paging by running sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist (this can be undone with sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist. It may sound counter intuitive, but swapping causes the biggest issue, and Mac OS becomes more conservative on RAM usage when it can't page files out. |

find what's producing inactive memory Look up the "purge" terminal command, it might be able to help |

Would upgrading to SSD solve my performance issues? This is where the purge command can come clean things up… Also turning off dynamic paging helps too |

Which SSD Thunderbolt Product For Main Boot Drive for my iMac? "Thunderbolt is for much higher speeds" not really, since the drive would be the bottle neck. And also, the display glass is magnetically attached and comes of very easily, the only part friction welded is the "chin" cover, which isn't removable, but doesn't need to be. |

Which SSD Thunderbolt Product For Main Boot Drive for my iMac? Why don't you just replace the internal HDD with a regular 2.5" SSD of your choice (for less than $200-$300) |

Are CPU and GPU embedded on the logic board? Sorry for the bad news, but practically no laptops have socketed CPUs, graphics cards or other components. The sockets/connectors require use up too much of the precious internal volume. It's the same for most mobile devices, "all-in-ones," laptops, etc. |

Restarting speakers without rebooting? Unfortunately, CoreAudio is such an integral part to pretty much every Cocoa based Mac application so when it starts messing up, many aspects of the OS go haywire until it's s restarted. It also makes isolating the issue is difficult. =/ |

MacBook won't detect displays unless I “detect displays” manually from System Prferences Idk, it seems like it's too random of an issue to constitute a hardware issue. Considering neither the internal nor external display show any sign of artifacting. Frame rates, resolution, colour depth, etc. are all perfectly normal. |

MacBook won't detect displays unless I “detect displays” manually from System Prferences And it works fine (in terms of display output contents), but my macbook just fails to adapt between the single monitor and dual monitor configurations. It seems to not "notice" the plugging in and unplugging of the monitor. |
