How much the OS/platform uses varies quite a bit, depending on
version, platform, and personal tweaking. WM 5 for Pocket PC uses
quite a bit more than Pocket PC 2003, which uses quite a bit more than
HPC 2.0.

Platforms before WM 5 used RAM for "disk" space (program storage), so
installed programs use up RAM even when they aren't running. WM 5 uses
persistent storage for "disk" space, so installed programs don't take
up RAM unless they are running; but now that I took a closer look, I'm
not sure what Settings->System->Memory is "looking" at (RAM,
persistent memory, both?).

I'm going to ask about Settings->System->Memory in
microsoft.public.pocketpc

Thank you very much for your explanation.

So there is approximately 15 MB RAM for the running Windows CE 5.0
including the programs I started at this time. Is that correct?

I don't have enough info to answer the question. What _platform_
(Pocket PC, Smartphone, ....) are you using? How are you measuring?
What do you mean by "running"?

I got a good answer to my question in microsoft.public.pocketpc; it
might help you.
