| 178357 | 2003-09-28 11:15:00 | I tried a few RAM optimisers quite a while ago even as far back as the 486 I used, They didn't appear to do much for me. Now I have 1 Gig RAM and twin 120 Gig hard drives and so haven't tried a RAM optimiser for a while now. YMMV |

| 178360 | 2003-09-29 18:26:00 | Oh I see. I never did notice any difference when I tried Cacheman so maybe Win XP does a pretty good job at handling things itself. Thanks for the clarification. :-) |
