RamClean for Windows

This program effectively frees unused RAM, but it can slow down your computer in the process.

RamClean's simple and compact interface utilizes tabs and has a moving pie graph to display available RAM and RAM currently in use. The program allows you to manually free RAM with the click of a single button; the amount of RAM to be freed is based on a multiplicator value. RamClean also monitors the system memory and will automatically free extra memory if the preset level is reached.

During testing, we noticed a dramatic increase in physical memory, but there was also an increase in CPU activity and a high usage of the paging file. Because of this, programs running at the same time were sluggish. An error message also appeared, signifying a problem with the .NET framework. The three-use trial certainly doesn't make this program any more appealing, especially for users not quite ready for a memory upgrade. There are plenty of RAM optimizers out there that use fewer resources, so we recommend that you continue looking.
