Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free memory optimization utility certainly has a nicer memory graph than XP's Task Manager, but we noticed no long-term improvement using its key functions.
WinCleaner Memory Optimizer's interface is fairly straightforward, with graphs to display your computer's RAM and CPU usage in real-time, and buttons to implement optimization options. You can manually free memory by clicking the Optimize RAM button, which is supposed to release extra memory on the fly. That's the theory, but we noticed a mere spike in page file and CPU usage, then a return to the same free memory level. The Maximize RAM feature forces your PC to release memory where possible. Again, we found a large spike in CPU and Page File usage and received only a few KBs of added memory in return.
You can set WinCleaner Memory Optimizer to release memory at a user-specified time interval, or if the memory falls below a preset level. The releasing process didn't cause instability, but running programs became sluggish. Though our test machines found no improved performance from this freeware, it didn't cause any problems, either. It's possible your home system may benefit from the meager returns, and it won't cost you a penny to try it.

Version: WinCleaner Memory Optimizer 5
"The absolute least obtrusive optimizer."
Pros: With two main options, maximize memory and optimize memory, you'll find that they both produce a significant amount of free memory. You'll notice an increase in program responsiveness as well as an overall quicker computer. Nice interface and works much better than Freeram XP, RamIdle, Rambooster and several others that I have tested. I am running Windows XP with 222mb RAM. It is a great program for those looking for a little more performance at no cost. This program also seems to integrate AND operate with little to no system slow down while it optimizes. Not all optimizers can do this. This one has been added to my watch list.
Cons: It wasn't released earlier.
