Did little or nothing.

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!

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! Updated on Apr 20, 2011I 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. Updated on Apr 20, 2011I 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. Updated on Apr 22, 2011Working 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

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_GlorfindelJanuary 13, 2010
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

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!
denigma78November 30, 2009
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

Summary
Excellent!
maddy_loverSeptember 2, 2009
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
basicreviewer2000August 11, 2009
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. Updated on Aug 12, 2009Was 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.
