    To my knowledge program does what is says it does, optimizes cache and is light on procesor. You are right you can just buy more ram, but if you use laptop ram is more expensive + if you run p2p app overnight (bittorrent?) it will chew up all free ram, cachemanxp will just clean up unused memory - that's it no involved.

    hell() - erm... i didn't notice any invalid registry entries, can you provide any specifics?

    Tweaks do work, only thing - kernel is still paging itself, i havn't seriously seen any app that can prevent it from doing that. Even if you modify registry it wont help :)

    innerspirit - just keep it installed...

    I used to think this was a decent program up until when i found out that it will revert all tweaks when you uninstall it, so basically you are forced to keep it installed, or else.

    Unfortunately not harmless. Like so many other tweak utilities, it sets invalid registry values, and doesn't undo them all when it is disabled or uninstalled.

    Benefits are purely placebo. Of course, I will be screamed at for saying this, because no one wants it pointed out that they have been wrong and fooled.

    Probably harmless, but totally unnecessary. Just buy more RAM is the answer. Not any promises from the author about a performance miracle-refreshing honesty! But we know XP and VISTA are pretty good at moving RAM to were you need it.But I liked his original Cacheman using Windows98 using dial-up.
    So you can support these software authors,because there's so many pirates who want everthing free.
