Downside to Loading Progs in Ext_Rom???
 
Is there any downside or harm to loading prgrams into extended_rom to allow for more main memory? I have cleared all extended_rom files and backed them up on sd card for installation. This has given me 10 more MB of memory.

No problems or disadvantages that I've seen.

None that I have seen. I installed Opera and Biz Conn to Extended ROM.

Don't know if you've done it or not, but I'd highly recommend UPX'ing Opera's dll. I think it is normally about 5-6 megs in size, after UPX'ing, it is ~1.7 megs.

I had done that at one point but I didn't like how I could no longer use my softkeys to access the "action" and "menu". Actually sometimes I could and sometimes I couldn't, it was sporadic. Thanks for the suggestion though!
