yes, you are right, but what you miss there is in GB rom, it automatically decides which apps has the highest priority and exit any other foreground apps which is consuming the RAM,
thats wat i meant when i say GB rom can handle memory management quite well compare to older version

but the thing is that why nowdays smartphone are preloaded with 512MB RAM of 1GB RAM is because it increases not only your multitasking capability but also the smoothness and speed of your phone,
exactly..reason why they give more RAM because they want to put as much stuff in it so Andoid will do less work loading the apps from storage... so the idea of flushing out the apps from RAM is totally the opposite of why they need higher RAM in the first place, wouldnt you agree? for X10, it only have 300+ of RAM...but that wont stop the show.. its just that, Android will have to do more memory swapping from RAM compared to those new phone that has higher RAM... once we know the capability of the phone, we wouldnt complain much if the HD games that we install requires bigger memory dat keeps on lagging.. cos its not designed to support it.. its not X10 fault...which is why some rom cookers trim down the ROM to the basic stuff, so that it can provide more RAM space for the games to run like WB gaming rom

your widget eats RAM, your android core process eats RAM, eventually a lots of things eat RAM, you should be able to organize your memory wisely even if you are using GB,
organise our memory? for 2.2 or below, partly true.. i cant disagree... but for 2.3 n above, why worry? GB should be doing that work for you.. its his job

lots of RAM allocated to background and foreground apps means your phone will not be smooth even with FPS uncap, they said in android, the less RAM u have means better because apps are loaded into foreground, and when u want to open it right after you close it, maybe you forgot something or etc, then it will load up faster , that is true, but not entirely good, having more RAM means you will do less app swapping and conflict with the new app you are opening
but loading apps from RAM compared to loading it all the way from intenal storage is faster, wouldnt you agree? so if you keep on flushing RAM, android will have to pick it up all the way from internal storage, thus xtra work.. prob consune more battery power....
of cos, there are still apps out there that are just poorly written...flushing the RAM might solve ur problem short term... but the best thing to do is, stop using it.. throw it away cos if u dont, it will keep on coming back and u'd keep on flushing the RAM most of the time until u got nothing else to do except flushing out RAM
