Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This utility optimizes your computer's performance by releasing unused RAM, though it lacks advanced features found in other memory managers. Memory Sentinel Pro's main interface graphically displays the CPU, memory, and disk space usage. An adjustable slider is available to set a user-defined critical limit, and then the program runs only if the available RAM reaches this limit. In our tests, Memory Sentinel Pro did successfully release a considerable amount of RAM, although in general our computer became sluggish as it ran. The application doesn't have any options for setting time intervals between optimizations and you can't do manual optimizations. Setting high limits dramatically increases the workload of the CPU and page file usage. Its nominal features don't coincide with its name, but we still can recommend this application for novice users who wish to enhance their computer's performance.Publisher's description
From Chutesoft :This program will automatically free up RAM when available memory reaches your preset level. The strip chart shows three lines representing CPU usage, available hard drive and available memory. Memory Sentinel Pro can also show available bytes for 1 to 6 hard drives. The CPU usage fingerprint is very small.

Version: Memory Sentinel Pro 1
"Ram booster ?? Ram Bull Sh**er more like !!"
Pros: The main pro with this title, is you are not obliged to download it in the first place.
Cons: You are beutifull, and brainy, and I love your sense of humour. Now, that may be a pack of lies, but you like to hear it, so you choose to believe it.
This software works on that philosophy.
This software works, Firstly by reseting windows counters, wich display how much free memory is availble. It then displays the resulting information in, usually some kind of pie chart or the likes. Most of these software titles also perform a useless defragmentation of your RAM.
The main thing they do, is to reset windows own counters ( wich bassicly means its lying to you, and to windows ), it actually tricks windows into thinking there is more free memory than there is. I could make COUNTLESS pieces of software, to tell you incorect information about your system. I could make something were you press " GO ", and 5 seconds later it tells you it has speeded up your system by 500%, well thats all these " optimizers " do.
Fair enough they DO defrag your memory, but that is totally useless, because by the time its done defraging, a whole load of new information is loaded into your RAM.
The claims that most of these software titles make, are ridiculous ( 2/300% faster etc ). Such claims cant even be achieved, by more realistic system improvments such as ACTUALLY UPGRADING YOUR RAM, let alone running a silly program thats main purpose is to lie to you. I HATE these optimizers, because they pray on peoples ignorance, and they really sound great, and they even look like they are doing a great job, but they do NOTHING.
Just save your money and buy some more RAM.
