Hi there. Sorry for the newbie question, but the answers I found both here and on Google were either too technical for me or not exactly my question:

The basis for the question is that I am worried about the amount of memory that the HP has and if it is enough for my needs. I know that it has a significant amount of memory, but I may even be willing to wait and get a different model with windows 7 or 8 and a different setup instead of changing my already significant x50v.

My x50v is 2003 SE and it manages its memory relatively simplistically. I understood that a major change in memory managment was supposed to come with the windows 5 (and hence 6, I assume).

When I open my dialog of memory usage in the x50v my 64MB RAM is divided into storage and program memory approximately equally. I say approximately because it can be moved 10-20% here or there temporarily. This often is not enough for me (especially the program memory part). In the built in memory, I have very few stored programs and instead put the majority of my applications (all that I can) onto the SD 4GB card. I have an addition 4gb microdrive CF for other fun things (multimedia mainly).

My device is slow and gets slower when I open my GPS (my igo) and or epocrates (i had to scale back some of the options so as to make it a smaller footprint).

To put it simply, how would the windows 6 deal with these things on the level of the memory? Would I get a significant boost from the 128MB? Is the memory managed differently (i.e. flash rom utilized for program usage as well or something like that?)

Many thanks for any links or a staight answer.
