    well, the way the NT memory manager works suggests that what ramboost does is a bad idea and would probably reduce performance.

      There's a difference between ram "boosters" and cache managers.

      The ram boosters use compression, and I've found them useless for virtually everything. The cache managers just help manage your paging, and I find them very useful on Win9x boxes.

        They make Win2k and WinXP run SLOWER, because they "do" (I don't think they DO anything, but hey) what the OS already does, and take up CPU cycles and RAM to do it.
