Always be careful to give advice based on one experience. I am a
consultant, installing a lot of computers, and most of the time
memmaker does what it is supposed to do.
There ARE better tools, but memmaker is free and it works. Of course
you can try afterwards changing your config or autoexec, but for most
of the people this is much to difficult...
