Hello everyone.

What I am about to explain is quite simple. As a student, I require a lot of memory to store programs on my Prime. The problem is that if I decide to load more than, let's say 5MB of programs in it, it says insufficient memory. Due to that, I have done some research and I've discovered that it is because it kind of "preloads" everything in the RAM memory instead of ROM.

Because of that, you can only have like 9MB or so available for your own stuff. However, i found a "solution" which is doing a reset after sending in my programs in order to clear RAM.

Obviously that is not a proper solution as you have to do the same if you want to load more than 9MB of your stuff without reseting.

In addition to that, if you finally manage to have all your programs stored, when you connect your calculator to connectivity kit, it crashes and you have to reboot again...

Wouldn't be easier if HP just developed some code to free that used memory as soon as you are finished running your program? Just like computers do...
