MemOptimizer

Anyone looking for smart ways to monitor and optimize your systems memory use will appreciate the smart options this utility offers.

MemOptimizer is a powerful little utility that offers a lot in a small box. It has a functional, nicely designed and easy-to-comprehend interface organized with tabs for current memory use overview, optimization, statistics, system processes, programs, and options. We liked how the Overview tab provides a graphical display of physical and virtual memory use, and that among the options we could choose the update frequency. We also liked that the tool didn't simply provide blind optimization, but that we could select the level of memory we wanted to free and set a point at which MemOptimizer would launch automatically to free memory.

This utility performed very well during our tests. We liked its look and feel, its user friendliness, and the many options it provided for optimizing our system. Although the publishers blurb notes this download has a one-hour trial limitation, the actual trial lasts 15 days. This period is ample for determining whether MemOptimizer will suit your needs, and the price isn't so steep that it will scare potential buyers away.
