I've downloaded & am now running Cacheman 5.5 - for only a few hours now.
I've had memory issues on my laptop - Dell Latitude C600 running Win2K Pro
with SP4. Between having a browser & mail client plus web design & often
graphic software open with only 128megs RAM - you can imagine how slow these
apps are to refresh/redraw on my screen. Just can't afford more RAM right
now. For some reason the 144pin 100mhz stuff is very expensive compared to
some other types. Anyone have any warnings or negative experiences running
this app? Is there something superior to this one or a downside? Thanks for
sharing your experience.

I tried several of these back when I had less ram, and found Cacheman to be
one of the better ones. I used it for quite a while with success. Some of
them didn't work properly or at all. Cacheman seems to be pretty good.
I'd stick with it..

Another one that worked pretty well was FreeRAM XP Pro. Google for it and
you'll find it easily.. It's free..

cacheman takes up memory.
Cacheman can do nothing that w2k can do, you are better off without it.
Just make sure you let windows handle your swapfile.

It will reclaim and release memory lost due to memory leaks and so on..
 
It's a tough call to make - when you need to run some heavy duty apps
simultaneously but are RAM-impaired. I've given up Firefox for K-Meleon
(which I actually like) and Thunderbird to go back to Outlook Express -
since I like the convenience of an all in one mail/news reader. OE is now
using 16megs, cacheman 1.7, K-Meleon a bit over 20megs - whereas Firefox
used to go up to 40megs or so at times. Add in my webpage software -
Trellian's very nice WebPage - and the occasional Gimp - and you need
something to manage the stress.

I've tried various combinations of mail & news clients, monitoring resource
usage, and find myself using OE for the first time in many years. Pegasus,
Foxmail, Xnews, FreeAgent, Sylpheed, etc have all come and gone in the last
few weeks and I'm back where I never thought I'd be - OE. Who'da thought? So
I'll give Cacheman a go for a while and try to determine if it in fact makes
a difference.

Contributions/advice for the RAM-impaired are always welcome in this group.

I use that one. I had to stop using cacheman but don't remember why. Might
give cacheman another try.
