Reviewed by: CNET staff on August 24, 2009
MemInfo lets users keep an eye on their computer's memory at all times. It gives a real-time look into the workings of computer systems. With ease and subtlety, MemInfo is a great tool for memory hogs.
The program's interface is so basic it doesn't matter that there is no Help file. There is basically no interaction here: users just view the statistics of their memory. What few commands there are operate quite simply. MemInfo embeds itself into the user's system tray and stays there. To view its information, users simply scroll over the small icon. A small information box opens and displays physical memory as megabytes (MB), percentage of memory used, and page file in MB. The icon also changes colors to warn users. It stays green under 65 percent usage, turns yellow above 65 percent, and red at 95 percent. The program's finest feature is undoubtedly the defragmenter that can be utilized by right-clicking. Here, users can free up a lot of memory just by clicking a button.
By staying simple, and offering great information at a glance, this freeware program will be a favorite of users who are obsessed with their memory usage.

Version: MemInfo 2.1
"Very Small, Discrete, and Nice"
Pros: Works, sits as a small icon in the tray, warns if your memory get too low, and does not seem to affect computer performance.
I've been using this program since about March this year and it sits quietly in the tray.Cons: None so far
Summary: I originally got this program when my parents gave me an old computer and I wanted to monitor the memory usage to see how often it ran out of memory. It turned out that with 512mb of memory the computer was constantly maxing out, now I have upgraded... read more >>

Version: MemInfo 2.1
"Excellent memory use monitor and manager"
Pros: Small foot print allows constant monitoring of memory (real, and page) usage and with the added feature of being able to defragment memory when usage becomes excessively high. Great for preventing slowdowns and lockups.
Cons: None that I have found.
Summary: Microsoft should have included these memory monitoring and management tools in the operating system in the first place. Excellent free tool to fill Microsoft's omission.
