CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Almost any computer system can benefit from additional RAM, but not all computer system owners know how (or can afford) to install more memory. RAMBooster helps alleviate the RAM jam suffered by users of older, slower systems. RAMBooster is small, effective, and best of all, free. Installation is quick, and setup is easy.
Use program defaults, or modify through the Preferences screen of the Edit menu how much RAM you'd like it to free up and at which point of resource consumption. RAMBooster will keep track of RAM usage and scrub your RAM free of flotsam left behind by closed windows and background programs. The tray icon will be red and black if your memory is fine, escalating to yellow as free memory falls. Rest your mouse pointer on the icon to see exactly how much free RAM you have. You can perform a manual RAM cleaning by right-clicking the icon in the system tray and selecting Run Now.
Multitaskers who experience bottlenecks in performance due to data saturation of their system's RAM will benefit the most from RAMBooster.

Publisher's description
From J.Pajula :RAMBooster monitors the amount of RAM your system is using and allows you to free it up. This will let your PC run smoother and faster, and you won't have to reboot as often. It will monitor the memory at all times, and if the amount of free RAM gets too low, it will automatically boost it for you, finding unused RAM and returning it to the free pool. RAMBooster will also monitor your CPU usage. Version 2.0 includes replaced CPU-infotext with a gauge. RB now always minimizes to the tray instead of taskbar or tray. The GUI looks almost like the old GUI, to make things easier for those who have used RAMBooster for years. Supports RAM up to 9999 MB instead of previous 99. Help-file problems fixed. Fixed conflicts with CPU-usage meter. Also some dial-up system caused to CPU-reading to freeze to 0%. This part has also been rewritten. Allows only one instance of the program. Lots of code optimization, invisible to users. It is bettter, faster, and more reliable now.

Version: RAMBooster 2
Pros: Ram Booster is a program that frees up ram. This is done by forcing windows to remove all data that is not needed from the memory.
No more lock ups, prevents blue screen, some apps open 40 % faster makes web surfing faster. Click edit click options to turn sound on set auto optimization and more.
Cons: The interface is too small.

Version: RAMBooster 2
Pros: ...frees ram to the level you want & doesn't slow the starting of progs. or loading of pages after freeing ram...I set it to the level I'm at after a reboot so that it maintains that level...manual and/or auto boost...voice and/or pop-up indicator of auto-free...no adware/spyware ...a much-needed gentle-free-ram that really works and is really free!!!
Cons: If your pc needs more memory, buy more, but if you want to maintain your ram without having to reboot, get this!!!

Pros: It quickly optimizes your memory and programs seem to run more effieciently for a few minutes. The interface is very simple and clean, good for beginners.
Cons: QUICK Reboot option causes the computer to stop responding (Windows 98 and Windows XP). Bad system tray icon. No stop command for optimization progress.
