PPCFreak: Would love to see you write up a very short, few step easy guide that'll install only 1 weather icon, that displays current temp. Seems like everytime, I get a 1/2 page of different icons that install by default, screwing up all my set icons... please. I haven't used for so long.. those are my recollections...

Would this significantly change if I go with PP 8?

This is exactly what I have, you must have:
1. nothing in your \windows\startup dir
2. Using a startmenu replacement (guessing either panel or compact (same as quickmenu)
Please confirm.
Re. pp of 8: Please reread my 1st post where I talk about page pools, yes... you should get roughly 140 MB of RAM to start..
IF NRG ever gets 29022 out & Opera is fixed, I'll try 8 myself. zero makes it dynamic RAM allocation in which Windows manages the RAM... taking an extra 20MB upfront to start, which makes menus, switching between them, switching between tasks, etc.. faster... however, as I've stated before, I believe over time, Windows keeps & doesn't give back all the RAM, exactly what you've noticed.
I feel with a set amount of 8 or 10, we shouldn't see the RAM in the low 90's after a day (high 80's in your case). Which is actually hilarious that I complain about 90 MB free after a couple days use!! LOL I remember some ROMs last summer dreaming & wishing about getting 70 ever! I think we could be seeing around 125-130 MB after a couple days use.

These RAM numbers are way off so you must:
1. Not be running a startmenu replacement.
2. Or, have a ton of stuff you are running in your startup dir.
Please rename your \windows\startup dir & reboot for a test... you should be seeing around 140MB free if you are using both a different menu (non sense or cookie) & a different windows startmenu.
Please advise where you are losing 30 MB of RAM
