CNET Editors' review
This effective memory optimization tool will boost your system's performance, but the demo disables some useful options. MemTurbo's well-designed interface logically places the important tools at the forefront, while making other functions easy to access. The program minimizes to your system tray for quick access if needed. Many users may find they use the wizard and let the utility operate unmanaged. Oddly, however, the wizard suggests Auto Recover and Target Free RAM levels, but doesn't automatically set those values.
The concepts and information presented through the wizard and help screens is clear and helpful. The default memory optimization functions are easily set up and sufficient for most users. Advanced users will find it easy to further tweak settings to improve system performance. Many functions and tips are easily enabled with single-click buttons and option settings. In addition to tuning memory, this utility includes features to boost priority for active programs, reclaim RAM from idle programs, and force Windows to improve system cache use.
A history or undo feature to revert settings is sorely missed. While the demo period is a mere 15 days and some important features are disabled, testing this utility is still easily accomplished. Experienced users will get more out of this application, but even novice users should notice system improvements with the wizard's settings.

From Sammsoft:
Give your system that "Like New Start-up Feeling" with a single click. MemTurbo is a highly acclaimed and powerful application to achieve advanced memory optimization along with resource and cache management of files. Applications can now allocate memory without forcing Windows to swap. This leads to an increase in system's performance and lowers response time, especially if you run many applications at the same time.

"Waste of space!"
Version: MemTurbo 4.1
Pros
There are no Pros.
Cons
Cons? Everything! Memory Cleaners are useless programs, and they even expect you to pay for it? :( Listen folks, you DON'T need a special program to "free" memory, Windows does that perfectly well. And after all, so-called unused RAM (because it's not, see below) is wasted RAM, Jesus! And the part that isn't "actively" used by programs is used as a file-cache (and that's GOOD!), so cleaning/freeing that up is BAD for computer performance!
Summary
Remember: RAM is there to be used! And again, Windows engineers know better than some XY programer how memory management should work!

"It was ok."
Version: MemTurbo 4.1

"Worked great on my 2GB OF RAM Windows 7 pc"
Version: MemTurbo 4.1
Pros
I had a similar program on an older computer, after adding add-ons to chrome and playing games shortly after shutdown I was noticing some slowdown. Installed this program to speed up the memory transition and it worked like a charm.
Cons
15 day trial
Summary
Worked exactly how I expected, I haven't tried any advanced features, but suited my needs perfectly. Highly recommended despite the 15 day trial.

"One of three best Memory Optimizers."

Pros
Memturbo has a smooth interface and very easy to configure. Powerful features and optimizations. CPU Rocket for even more boost to your active and idle programs. Cache Tuning for better performance of hard drives, PC Tuneup for tuning performance etc

Sometimes it takes to slow to load after system. That would be it.
