Ram - Memory management

In the old days: Win98, memory managers were valuable. I don't see much interest these days with Win XP.

A buddy has a university IT student son who is doing heavy duty programming and needs a memory manager of some kind. What's out there? Anything new?

there is no need for a memory manager in XP, a superior one is already built-in. the add-ons that are available are all bogus, there is no benefit to be had from them. stay away from them its a waste of hard earned cash!

OK DzNFek. Thanks for your comment. I've not heard back from my budies son about whether or not he actually tried to try one out.
