When I bought my first computer in 1998, it was a used Dell.
The specs were 378 Mhz processor, 128MB of ram and a puny little hard drive. Couldn't do graphics worth a dang.
It froze up less than my Curve.

That was pretty good for a computer then! My first PC, new in 1994, had 8 MB of RAM (yes, I'm sure: eight 1 MB Sticks) and a 66 MHz processor. People here who make comments like "RIM is stuck in the 90's" clearly weren't around then.
I have to disagree with the freezing comparison. BSOD was a regular event.
The more complicated (Lines of Code) the device, the higher the rate of BSOD \ freezing. If your device freezes frequently, I suggest having a simple (non smart) phone as a backup. This is especially important if this phone is used instead of a land line.
I should have added that if you are running OS 5 on your Boost Curve, there is not much room for anything else. The Curve needs some number of MB free for proper operation. That number is somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 MB.
My first computer was from the late 80's 640K (that's right, K) of Ram running MSDOS. It would occasionally get hunk up, so a quick ctrl-alt-del would quickly reboot it.

Don't blame your Curve. Blame yourself if you have installed an OS that takes
all the memory of your device.

I didn't install it, it came with 5 and I don't have a computer to downgrade.
Couple of quick questions;
What is the difference in size between os 4.5 and 5?
Is there a way to allocate the memory card for ram?

1. from what I have read, about 15 MB. Check this thread:

Not closing/exiting your apps properly perhaps?
When leaving your apps, always use Menu, Exit/Close instead of Back or End key. Use the App Switcher to make sure you don't have anything other than the 5 native apps running.
