    I noticed powerstrip has a free memory option. Anyway when I start my computer it says I have around 168mbs free but if i free my memory i have 222mbs free. This is with windows98se remember, I was wondering if I should restart and/or free my memory before playing games. I gained about 50 points in 3dmark 2k1 when i did not free my memory and just restarted. But battlefield (which uses more memory then 3dmark) seemed to be runing slower. Was it just my imagination?

    It takes even longer when I restart AND free memory. Hmmm...

    Hell I'm "getting" windows2000 off a little store I like to call bit torent. WIll I see a performance boost since it has better memory management? Or will it go down casue the OS needs more resources?
