Yeh, I noticed. :<( I normally just ignore people like that. The problem is
that most people don't read and comprehend what they read before they
reply. Most of the people who replied talked about Chip mem and WBCtrl etc.
The original question was about Fast RAM not Chip RAM. WBCtrl does not do a
thing for Fast RAM usage AFAIK.

I have no clue other than OS 3.5 itself is using it for some reason. I
don't have a real problem since I have plenty of RAM but for someone with
the minimum it could be a problem.
