CNET Editors' review
Even if you're not a RAM whiz, you can still easily free up RAM on your running system? By selecting AutoFree mode and then 'go,' FreeRAM XP Pro can automatically optimize your system, balancing levels between your memory cache and the computer's speed. Those with a little more RAM know-how can specify the amount they'd like freed in the program's extensive settings menu. Remember that attempting to free up more RAM than your system can handle will subsequently slow it down. Reporting options, a slew of memory monitoring tools, and the ability to place a preset of your memory settings to the desktop are reasons to try FreeRAM XP Pro.

"Not for me. but then again..."
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
Free RAM XP Pro works dilligently and perseveringly. The beneficial features are the ability to control the tantamount of of RAM that can be emptied or saved. Other than that primary feature, the interface is intuitive and allows many modifications.
Cons
It just wasn't meant to be. (For me, of course) My retiree of a computer with 700MB RAM was managed by this program, but the overall system performance had not been altered.
Summary
After reading the top two categories, you might have a sense of my own perspective. I had been a fervent free-RAM user, but the results had not been deemed worthy. When loading various programs which extract miniscule amounts of RAM, my computer had problems of temporarily freezing, the oh-so dangerous 'Not Responding' error, and the debilitating hard drive performance. Lastly, I'd like to say that this is just my own opinion. There are various reviews which claim this programs brilliance, and I am opt to agree on several certanties. Try it for yourself.

Cons
Slowed down my computer sufficiently with no added benefits.

"Very Functional but Archaic in Design"
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
I normally have about a minimum of 8 programs running in the background at all times on my system. Some applications being the hog of memory cause my system to execute input commands extremely slow. With the install of this application I noticed a great improvement in system performance. My processor is not "noticeably" thinking about what I have told it to do, it does it.
Cons
The GUI interface should be beefed up with a modern skin.

"Do Not Use With Mozilla FireFox"
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
Has an uninstall feature that restores previous settings and removes most of the program. Also has a ReadMe file that explains both the "semi-automatic" and manual process to uninstall it as well.
Cons
I can't say how well this product does when used with the right systems; however I can tell you that if you use Mozilla FireFox then this program should be avoided. After installing this program and surfing the web, I noticed that all the sites I visited were out-of-whack. The color and images were gone from most sites and the font and format of the pages were all messed up as well; websites became very primitive and were also slow to load. Luckily the program has a failsafe point that it revert back to when uninstalled through the program. A much welcomed feature considering I had encountered the same problem after installing RamBooster, but after uninstalling RamBooster the problem remained. Took some time to manually fix my computer - thankfully FreeRam was able to restore the original settings while it was uninstalling itself.
Avoid this program if you use Mozilla FireFox.

"This is the greatest thing I ever downloaded!"
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
It's small, doesn't get in the way, actually shows you where your memory is going and will free it up so fast...I can't live without it anymore!

"I was surprised it worked"
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
It actually works, and does so transparently. Normally freeware has some kind of limitation or problems, but I've found none so far. I use VMware and run Red Hat Enterprise Linux as an emulation on top of Windows XP. VMware is a memory pig. This product helps alleviate that issue.
Cons
None!

"Installed a few months ago - Works fairly well"
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
Based on the cost, it works well
Cons
A few additional parrameters for greater customization would be a help, however, taking into consideration, it is a godd program.

"Finally I can play in FM 2005!! FreeRAM helps a lot..."

"great for games!"
Version: FreeRAM XP Pro 1.4
Pros
Once I'm done browsing the internet and checking my email, it's time for some games. But a lot of debris is left in RAM once I close the programs. FreeRAM clears the junk out and gives me plenty of RAM for the games. It is extremely obvious that the games are running faster.
Cons
I can't see any down side to this program.
