Youna: Yes and no. WM5 will unload RUNNING applications as needed, and then attempt to free up space in the background by removing unused DLLs. However, things like the GWES.EXE process, which has cached a bunch of items, will probably stay the same size. As long as you've got more than 5MB of RAM available at any given time, you're probably okay, however.

If you want to see what Processes are running, I'd suggest using either MemMaid by DinarSoft (which has a good interface that's easy to read), or SKTools by SK Software (which is a lot more cluttered and difficult to read, but has the advantage of being able to free up WM5 RAM space by forcing the OS to unload DLLs).
