I downloaded the Memturbo and tried it on the computer I use for rt
datafeed from Futuresource and found it very helpful. The problem
with Futuresource rt, which may or may not relate to those who are
using Metastock rt, is that the repetitive opening and closing of
page windows uses--but does not release--the resources it occupies.
Rebooting throughout the day is just too impractical. Memturbo can
be set to refresh automatically as soon as an adjustable resource
occupatiion level is hit. For those who notice a similar problem,
I recommend memturbo's trial period.
I should also mention that my ram is only 64 megs, and my chip is an
older Pentium on this particular computer. It's time for a change
<g>. thanks for the help Guy and Glen.
