I don't think this is the place to start a memory manager war, but some 
(maybe most?) people can do with the FREE memory manager they get with 
DOS (emm386.exe) and have no reason to spend more money for something 
that doesn't really improve their system much.  I say, if emm386 will 
work for you, use it!  If it doesn't one of the third party memory 
managers may do the job for you, and you should look into them.
