3.2 Managing

Memory

Storage and Program Memory

Files, settings and data that you add to your Pocket PC are stored in RAM
(Random Access Memory). The RAM on your Pocket PC is shared between
storage memory and program memory.

Storage memory
Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional programs
you install.

Program memory
Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC.

Your Pocket PC automatically manages the allocation between storage and
program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is
running out, your Pocket PC may not be able to automatically adjust the
allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 7.4.)

Additional Memory

Your Pocket PC has an internal memory called

My Flash Disk

, with

approximately 32MB capacity. You can use this space to store data or programs.

In addition, you can buy storage cards for backup, storage, archives or to
transfer large files to other devices. Depending on the type of the storage card
inserted, you can find the

MMC Disk

,

SD Disk

or

CF Disk

folder, listed under

My

Device

in the File Explorer application.

Data stored on a storage card will be saved, even if your Pocket PC loses power.
