    I am deciding between two calendar programs.

    I can either use VueMinder which uses 50 MB or use Google Calendar.

    If I open an additional browser to use Google Calendar according to the Task Manager/Processes it will be use 150,000 K of memory. (or 150 MB, I assume 1000 KB=1 MB). I know I could open an additional tab instead, but I would prefer to do it that way.

    Is it that simple to compare the two MB numbers to find out the resources each program will use? Is there something else I should consider?
