Theoretically the application doesn't need to manage ram, the OS is supposed
to do that.
Those who know says that XP manages ram just fine, I'm not convinced. I have
tried opening several memory hungry apps and checking one of those programs
that show the percentage of ram usage and it has never shown much more than
a third in use, that's with 1 G of ram.

I'm not sure who/what is to blame but I think that it's true that XP doesn't
use ram above 512 M well. Now all you Linux people please don't say that
Linux uses ram better, at least not if you don't explain how or way. :-)
