You may like package `ibuffer'

  (global-set-key "\C-xb" 'iswitchb-buffer)
  (autoload 'iswitchb-buffer "iswitchb" "" t)

  (setq iswitchb-default-method     'always-frame)
  (setq iswitchb-case               nil)
  (setq iswitchb-resize-minibuffer-mode nil)

Just type ANY characters you remember, and hit RET.
