I can't imagine running 32-35 after the installation of any software since a few silently place listeners in startup...
Well, I could take a photo of an hx2490 that I can get my hands on right now, although most of the reviews I've seen indicate that the reviewers can keep 30+ MB of RAM free with various WM5 devices when idle (no programs outside of startup ones in background), including some Dell x51v's. I'll also ask if you have MemMaid or SK Tools installed - maybe you could see what processes are running at the moment? And which firmware version do you have? The later ones appear to be pretty stable, although I'm curious as to how much RAM is being chewed up by 'unnecessary' processes.

My personal suspicion is that some of the crash issues reported with WM5 are probably due to some of the extra stuff running in the background, which may be causing conflicts with various Today plugins... or poorly written programs with massive memory leaks.
