Hello. Can anybody tell me how to free inactive memory on 10.6.8? I read about the purge command and that it requires xcode. Okay i installed xcode but after that here is what i'm getting in terminal:

 

WARNING: Could not determine processor information.
WARNING: Could not determine memory controller information.
WARNING: Could not determine Operating System information.
 
It's kinda weird cuz About This Mac is showing the right information about everythin.
 
I also heard about Memory Booster that does the exact same thing this command do. But it's for 10.7+
 
My mac is going a bit sluggish sometimes when only around 60mb ram are free and 600 inactive. Im multitabing at chrome, downloading with utorrent, itunes,  sparrow, dropbox and a weather widget thats my minimum of opened apps.
 
Here is my configuration:
 
P4 3.2Ghz core solo
GT 240
2Gb Ram
