View Full Version : Best combination to solve memory errors

I know there are a lot of memory programs out there that are meant to solve the TX problem of running out of memory but what is the best setup. I regularly look at websites that won't load in Blazer or NetFront because the pages are to large.

I own a copy of UDMH but I'm not sure what else I should install and how I should set them up. I'm not as concerned about load times but mostly about running out of dynamic memory when I have 75MB free.

I don't know much or anything about storage heap, dynamic heap, dbchache etc. so type slowly.

well...

after I did a hard reset and then a clean install and installing the apps one by one I haven't had any crashes and no further memory problems.
I don't really run mem-intensive apps, but warfare and blazer run flawlessly...

One point of clarification: RAM memory on a TX is like your Hard Drive on your PC; it is for storing files and programs. Dynamic Memory is like RAM in your PC, with DB Cache being more like the level 2 cache on your actual CPU. --Rough analogy, but it'll work for general understanding. Having 75MB of NVRAM free just means that you have 75MB you can load files on to for storage. To make Blazer and Netfront load larger pages, you need more DB Cache free; I think the maximum you can free up on a TX is around 12/13MB. MemUnfragment will stop Blazer from fragmenting DB Cache into small chunks on a soft reset (which will help other programs run properly), UnCache will do this plus allow you to stop any other programs you desire from loading at reset. There are a number of programs that allow you to force-flush the DB Cache, but I generally stay away from these, as the TX contains a bug where flushing DB Cache can sometimes (very rarely) result in the flashing code becoming corrupted (which means you can't hard reset anymore if something goes wrong).

Personally, I get by just fine with UDMH, UnCache, and soft resets.
