it all depends on what the programs are and if they have any processes that run in the background and what other threads they invoke when used....short answer= yes this is very possible, no BS.

i refuse to run all of those programs at one time, my phone would not stop freezing up, that's an ongoing problem with windows mobile, i run about no more than 15

nope..."shouldn't fawk up" anything doing a hard reset. might be a good idea, then install stuff one at a time and see whats hogging the memory and decide whether you really use/need it or maybe look for other software to perform the same function.

After boot, I generally have around 18.5MB free RAM. I keep the number of programs which load up at boot minimal.

I have about 75MB free in my main memory. I load all programs onto the phone, and only use my storage card to hold pictures/photos/music/video/email attachments and backup files.

I use SPB Backup everynight, and it soft resets my phone at around 4am, so each morning, my phone is fresh and ready to go.

Throughout the day, I use memmaid's reclaim ram feature 2-3 times, and I almost never go below 9mb free RAM, unless I have numerous programs loaded at the same time.

I use DCD's base ROM 3.0.4, with some of my own stuff cooked in.
