Did little or nothing.
blancheirving- Pros
- Caused no harm, apparently.
- Cons
- Useless, as far as I could tell.
- Summary
- I have a non-RAMRush memory monitor to watch in real time, so if this software had triggered any improvement, I would have observed it. Nope! Of course in another OS my experience may not be duplicated. I use Vista, and it allegedly does its own decent job of managing the RAM. Maybe so, but using the claimed-to-be-very-different CleanMem, I do observe a very substantial improvement. I will be keeping that instead!
The best working free memory optimizer!
Batchoy2- Pros
- It's plug and play! Very light on resources and acts quickly when your memory is about to peak out.
- Cons
- When in the process of optimizing the memory, it takes a few seconds and halts your work but it's really barely noticeable.
- Summary
- I have this on my 4 computers- 2 laptops and 2 desktops. It really works!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 20, 2011<p/>I was tempted to try other free "memory optimizing tools' but I recently went back to RAMRush. This is an essential especially for the "not so powerful" machines like mine- a netbook.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 20, 2011<p/>I was tempted to try other free "memory optimizing tools' but I recently went back to RAMRush. This is an essential especially for the "not so powerful" machines like mine- a netbook.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Working smoothly on both of my computers - one using Vista Home 32bit and the other using XP Home SP3. Just a suggestion for a really flawless performance, on the Options menu, check only the following: - Run RAMRush when Windows Startup -AutoOptimize when memory amount is lower than 8% of total RAM
It works just fine
undomiel_- Pros
- I just installed this, I didn't even need to reeboot, and it was giving results already! I'm impressed O.O
- Cons
- None so far
- Summary
Few Options - Can't shut it down once loaded
Lord_Glorfindel- Pros
- It may clear RAM ok, although I didn't test that. It is free.
- Cons
- No way to shut it off or close it once loaded. You have to use Process Explorer or Task Manager to force it closed. Very few RAM clearing options.
- Summary
- It is free and if you don't mind keeping it loaded all the time, it might prove worth having. Otherwise, look elsewhere for a utility with more user options.
wrking for me so far
gbswales1- Pros
- easy to use and to optomise memory
- Cons
- havent found any yet
- Summary
- simple memory manager that works just fine with windows 7
This little download does the trick!
denigma78- Pros
- Automatically kicks in with no interaction needed! Small download and doesn't seem to interfere with other programs. Can't believe a lot of people have not downloaded it.
- Cons
- Too quiet! At first, didn't think it was working because it's not obtrusive.
- Summary
- Once you download it and start using it, you will probaly think that it does not work, but that is not the case. I watched my task manager like a hawk when I had multiple tabs opened using IE8. We all know Chrome and IE8 are ram intensive b/c of their seperate tab processes, and plus I only have one gig of ram. When my memory usage crept past 70, this little trick stepped in and brought it back down to around 55. I didn't even notice it take back some of my ram, b/c my computer didn't seem to hiccup. Nice download!
One of the best optimizer program
stemurs- Pros
- it's a helpful program
- Cons
- no comments
- Summary
Excellent!
maddy_lover- Pros
- I have used this software on SERVER 2003, to free memory so, the process wont stop.
- Cons
- It would be beneficial if they include the leak reason or the leak processor option.
- Summary
- it Simply does what it says
Gave me a lot of problems
basicreviewer2000- Pros
- Not much. Interface seemed intuitive.
- Cons
- Didn't produce a desktop icon upon installation. Lots of warnings from Trend Micro (one was *high* risk). Couldn't reinstall. Didn't soup up RAM more than another product.
- Summary
- Wasn't worth the effort - no desktop icon upon installation, multiple warnings from Trend Micro (one was *high* risk), couldn't reinstall, and the program certainly didn't supersoup up my RAM. Maybe try the "smart RAM" utility in Advanced SystemCare Free 3.3.4 - doesn't exactly supersoup up my RAM, but it's free and there weren't any of these problems.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 12, 2009<p/>Was wrong about the desktop icon, but all else stands. Also, "smart RAM" utility in Advanced SystemCare Free 3.3.4 *does* free up a considerable amount of RAM.
