Honestly this is not a fault of Dell, HP or anyone else. It's a function of the operating system, and so you will not find a better solution with another vendor....


Thanks for the task bar manager but even with it installed it does not correct the problem of too little memory. I would manually close down the programs and I would still have the Storage memory almost completely using the system resources and the program memory similarly full. I am currently using the A01 operating system. I wonder if the installment of A04 would correct this issue. Yet from looking at other threads it appears there are major glitches with that upgrade and for A05.

I was looking at the HP iPaq hx2750 and it has 128 MGB of ram a similar fast processor and just as many storage options. It appears that might resolve my issues. I have been a Dell user since the early days of Axim, yet i need a reliable device that can run the different reference texts and formularies i neeed.
