Those of you who have used 'Rember' can you tell me why if you do the ram test different times with this software, the requested memory on the log would always come out different even if you quit all programs including finder. Below are the log results.

I have 1.75 G of total memory and I would think it would have more available memory to test since OS 10.3 shouldn't take up that much memory.
