So what I personally recommend is to try an external memory manager with your programs.But be warned ,in some cases their use may lead to system instablity! I use 7-max < www.7-max.org > , an application accelerator from the maker of 7-zip . It is fairly stable and give the performance boost of 5 to 10% on my system. Just attach 7-max to the memory hungry application and notice the diffrence. In the case of dev-c++ , I achieved best results by attaching 7-max to the gcc compiler exe (gcc.exe etc.) instead of attaching it with dev-c++ exe. ____________________________________________________ Send a rakhi to your brother, buy gifts and win attractive prizes.
