Total Commander and ROM

Although I try to install most everything on my SD or CF cards I am running out of Main memory on my Axim. Even though the use of ROM is limited will I have a problem if I install Total Commander or other software in the "built in Storage". I have plenty of free mbs (20mb)?

Thanks for any help.

You shouldn't have a problem at all. It will work just as well as installing on the SD or CF card.

I install most on built in memory and avoid installing anything in main memory. Have not had a problem yet.

well...

Well "basic" programs are ok to install in ROM, but i found that more advanced programs should only be installed in the RAM. I dont remember off the top of my head which programs to watch out for but things that are "major" should be installed in RAM. System and utilities should be installed in RAM and not ROM.

I went ahead and installed TC in ROM. So far I have not had any problems. I guess time will tell.
