Seeking more Ram

I keep running out of ram and its annoying me.
I have done the standard issue memory tweaks... the Oddesy client one and I think the other few.

CF 307megs
SD 152mb
BIS 70mb
Windows 6.37
My Documents 1.72
Program Files 0.66m
System Heap 0.05M

So im using 7.5 megs of ram for storage.
Windows has appmgr and a bunh of dlls that MemMaid doesnt seem to want to move so I cant do anything about it... or can I?

I also have 15megs of program use. Based on memmaid, Running Programs... gwes.exe is the bulk of the memory use. FOllowed by Device.exe and shell32.exe. I wonder why MS doesnt make these run from the rom and save me about 8mb... allowing for another 8mb to be lost somewhere in lala land... (any idea where that memory goes to?) Tray apps, today plugins, desktop icons, stuff like that?

Lastly was there a tweak for removing the HOME app for more ram?

Yeah im a bit obsessive but I want loots of ram! ^_^

This company offers upgrades

Silly question but why don't you move the contents of "My Documents" to BIS to save 2MB?

And here's a few more files that I've performed the Odyssey trick on.
Home.exe (I never use it)
Bliss.tsk (ugly green hills wallpaper)
SplashV.exe (the little startup screen that appears after a hard reset that explains the WiFi button operation)

No prob.
If you do get rid of SplashV.exe don't forget to remove the LNK file from \Windows\StartUp or you'll get an error whenever you soft reset.

So those are in the ram also?
So dummy the file in \Windows\ ? or is that ROM territory?

Yep, dummy the file in \Windows.
The files ARE in ROM so they will be restored should you ever need them but until then you can gain the RAM.
