CNET Editors' review
Memory Improve Master Free Version brings together several computer settings aimed at improving its performance. This tool is best suited for people familiar with Windows performance management.
Like most memory optimizers, the program operates on the debatable principle that the greater the amount of free RAM, the more efficiently applications will operate and the lower the chances your application or system will crash. Using Memory Improve Master, you can ensure free RAM by manually forcing memory release, "deep compressing" system memory, and setting thresholds and letting the application run in the background. A real-time graph displays the effects of your choices on RAM, paging-file, and CPU usage. Memory Improve Master offers a few other performance-related settings for items such as DLL handling and cache sizes. It also lets you create white lists and black lists governing the availability of RAM for specific applications, and even offers a Smart List that, according to the Help file, will learn from your habits to create additional guidelines for allocating RAM. The application interface is clean and straightforward, but some aspects are confusing. For example, check boxes are filled with a solid square box. In Windows, this usually indicates that not all subitems are chosen, but Memory Improve Master uses it in lieu of an X or check mark. The Help file is hit or miss, and though the application does offer many tool tips throughout the user interface, some tips are lengthy and disappear far too quickly.
If you are looking for a tool to manage RAM availability, you could do far worse than Memory Improve Master. Beginners and many intermediate users will probably find the options and terminology confusing, however.

"Works perfectly, exactly as described"
Version: Memory Improve Master Free Version 6.1.2.369
Pros
Seamless operation, mainly in the background, with some more advanced features a couple of clicks away if you need them.
Cons
Haven't found any. It pops up with an offer to upgrade to a paid version every time I run the program, but since it's intended to be running all the time, you only see this screen once in a while. Since I put my computer to sleep or hibernate instead of a complete shutdown, the program is almost never popping up for me. And since the basic version is FREE, I wouldn't whine about a simple pop-up once in a while.
Summary
I was doing a lot of work on photo editing of multiple images, cutting, pasting, transferring from one program to another, etc. and was running out of memory here and there and, of course, had to save all my work and all my windows and do a complete shut down to "flush out" the system and start fresh.
I see in my review I accidentally called the program the wrong name 2 times out of 3. :-) The actual name of the program is Memory Improve Master (Free Version.)
I thought there was probably a better way, do I went to CNET and searched for a background utility to free up memory. Memory Free Master seemed highly rated and recommended so I gave it a try. I've been EXTREMELY happy with the results and have also installed it on my wife's computer now.
It installs and runs completely painlessly (Running a Dell and an HP on Vista, each with about 2gb of memory,) and does exactly what you expect it to: frees up memory. I'm not sure how it does that or how it decides what is free, but I see a little pop-up down by the clock about every ten minutes saying something like "Memory Free Master report. Memory free before: 49%, Memory free after: 41%" I love it.
You can probably change it so it's not popping up to tell you that (it's a tiny pop up over by the clock on the right,) and I think I saw an option to change how often it attempts to free memory (I have it set for 10 minutes) but I really like the pop up because it give me a good feeling every time I see it because I hate running low on memory.
You can also click on the little icon for the program that's sitting next to the clock, and it will INSTANTLY open the interface where you can change settings, or click "Free memory now" if you're working on something memory-intensive and don't want to wait for the next automatic run. There's also another button for "Deep compress" for which the help text says basically "only use this when you really need it!" Kind of feels like "don't press this red button here," so I haven't pressed it. I haven't needed to - I have only had "low on memory" warnings from my programs once or twice since installing Memory Improve Master, but never "out of memory, shutting down" issues, so I feel like the program is really doing it's job well. I recommend it basically to everyone, because it's so polite and runs in the background and is doing something we probably all need. Great program!

"Works Fine And Is Really Free!"
Version: Memory Improve Master Free Version 6.1.2.369
Pros
This is really alot more novice friendly than CNET's review may have one to believe. There is a Wizard to configure it. Just hit the recommend button on each page and save. It's just that easy. It made a noticeable difference in my 2 G RAM Win 7.
Cons
I wish you had the choice in auto free mode between time interval or percentage of RAM freeing. The only choice is time interval. Then again I whine alot.
Summary
It works fine for me. Has a nice U I and can be user friendly if the steps I outlined above are applied. You will find the wizard under Configuration and Settings. Try it! I think you will like it also.

"Great little Utility"
Version: Memory Improve Master Free Version 6.1.2.320
Pros
Many configurations plus an automatic configuration.
The system tray icon goes red, yellow, and green depending on % of free memory.Cons
Memory free works, but memory compress achieved nothing.
A mini nag screen pops up once at each start up to try and sell an upgrade; but this is the only minor con I have found. Just click No and it works well until next start up.Summary
I like it because it is Free and mostly does what it claims to do.
Worth a try. I now have mine running all the time on XP Pro. It sits at 0% CPU and usually about 3 MB of memory usage while idling. If you watch Taskmanager, you will see that many times this program uses more memory than anything else. At these times you have more memory by turning it off.
I also installed this on a friends Vista computer where Win Doze was using about 90% of CPU plus 90% of memory after 3 minutes running; then freezing everything. It enabled me to gradually do the repair over many reboots. -

"Surprisingly, this seems to be working."
Version: Memory Improve Master Free Version 6.1.2.308
Pros
Programs and processes run faster.
Many options available to tweak settings.Cons
So far, so good.
Summary
I tried a similar program called "Memory Improve Professional" which I could easily tell was made by the same people who made this one by looking at the unmistakeable similarities(functions, interface, text, even a typo "recommanded"!). That program did not seem to work, as my tasks were running at the same speed as before. So when I found out that this program was made by the same folks that made the one that didn't work for me, I had to be skeptical. I was wrong though, since the overall speed has improved noticeably especially when browsing the internet using multiple tabs in IE. I have only just installed this, so I will see if this keeps on, and update if necessary.
Perhaps best not to use when you are not using the computer, but leaving it on for downloading files or something. I was downloading something so I had the computer on with this program running, but next morning, I saw that the downloader had crashed. Might or might not be due to this program, but I'm going to use this only when I'm using the computer.
