But if you say that no program can be installed into RAM, that does answer my original question, thank you. I'm just worried about my RAM dropping so much after just 1 program, because I also wanted to install iLauncher and maybe Pocket Breeze. Are there maybe other things that automatically run on the Axim that I don't need and can prevent from running?

And again, thanks for everyones help. I don't know what I'd do without Aximsite. :approve:
Anything that is always running will have an impact on your RAM. This includes Today plugins and anything that changes the appearance of your screen (e.g., skinning programs, etc.). You need to decide which apps are the most important, and see if it is worth the drop in RAM. I use Wisbar Advance as well, but on a WM2003SE device. The effect on my RAM is not as signicant as it is on your device, but I don't use its skinning feature.
