<P align=left>Here is a little comparison between RamBooster and 3 similar, but
commercial programs.

<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>Read with care and think about this : the program(XXXTurbo) that
costs almost 1½ times<BR>as much as the cheapest (Win-Ram-Booster), demands 5
times more memory and<BR>takes up 6.5 - 6 % more cpu-usage. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>(Win-Ram-Booster has nothing to do with my original RamBooster.
The author chose the<BR>same name by accident and continued to use it, because I
had nothing against it) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>This comparison is supposed to be neutral and always remember
that my program might seem<BR>to be the best BUT this is only 1 chart and not
the whole thruth. These things are<BR>difficult but remember this : </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>"Most people think, that you can tell the RAM usage of a program
just by the size of<BR>it's executable. THAT's ABSOLUTELY WRONG !!! See
XXXTurbo: The exe file is<BR>only 512 KB big, but all in all it uses nearly 10
MB in RAM (that's incredible, isn't it?)<BR>This program does waste more RAM
than it gives you back..."<BR>(An e-mail from a person who used to use XXXTurbo)
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>That chart is mainly made to help you to compare the features of
these kind of programs<BR>in case you decide to buy one. You should also
remember that RamBooster is freeware and <BR>that I may decide to stop updating
it anytime, and that after that, there is no support<BR>anymore.<BR></DIV>
<DIV align=left>If you buy a good commercial program from a company that has
other products also, not only 1<BR>memory optimizer, you can be 100% sure you
are not left alone if you have any problems.<BR>Noticeable therefore is, that
Win-RamBooster has been updated very often, and the program gets<BR>better and
better all the time, but the makers of XXXTurbo don't seem to care about the
program.<BR>I have not seen any updates to XXXMemPro either. So my guess is that
if you want good<BR>commercial product support and updates, buy
Win-RamBooster.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>The program used to monitor these values is TaskInfo 98 by Igor
Arsenin and you can find it HERE
. <BR> Worth downloading, it is an excellent program. Also other programs
were used to monitor the values. </FONT></DIV>

Status:
Just a quick question.
a) I removed a partition that I had on one of my hard drives (ie. I removed
drive e:). It was a partition of c:. After the removal (with FDisk) I
don't get a larger c: drive. The hard disk is 3.1GB and that should all be
the c: drive. I am only getting a reading of 1.9GB.
b) On startup if I enter setup there is a 3.1GB hard drive. It appears that
windows is not recognizing the extra 1.2 GB or that the C: drive must be
reconfigured.
Any suggestions would greatly help.
Thanks in advance for any leads,
Ed
