Hi :
I have read the column by Fred Langa and donwloaded some of the software
he mentioned. Using RAMpage I can now see that when I start my machine
I have only 70M of RAM left free (out of 128). On startup I have running
internat, explorer, em_exec, rsrcmtr, systray, wmexe.
I don't think I can close any of these. Does it sound reasonable to use
up 58M on these? Is there any article that I could read regarding RAM.
Langa's article is mostly about the virtual memory.
Thanks for any suggestion
