Free Ram Optimizer XP for Windows

User Reviews

• This would be good for a selected few people

  Slicky35/3/2012

  Pros

  It does work most of the time.

  Cons

  It uses memory and eats up user time.

  Summary

  Go ahead and get this if you have a WHOLE lot of memory to start out with and run a WHOLE lot of programs. I took it off my computer because it cause more problems then it was worth.

• It is what it is

  Merranvo1/5/2011

  Pros

  Small Footprint, simple without additional "silliness"

  Cons

  Appears to have a 2048MB (2GB) hardcoded RAM limit.

  Summary

  Memory Optimizers do exactly what they were meant to do, free up ram by forcing DLLs or other extensions out... though I would believe their implementation is rather flawed. Rather than directly modifying ram addresses, they appear to simply "grab" as much memory as possible thus forcing windows to "deal with the problem". These tools are not to increase speed, but increase stability for programs with ever increasing memory footprints... offering more benefits to those who turn off the pagefile. But again, it's for people who TRULY FILL their memory up...

• All ram optimizers are jokes

  calebstein12/15/2009

  Pros

  absolutely none

  Cons

  wastes HD space probably frees up ram by paging infrequently used applications

  Summary

  When an application is paged, it is removed from the ram and placed in the pagefile. While this can free up ram, it also slows the applications that are paged because they need to be loaded into the memory again, and therefore not actually clearing ram. While this program might temporarily clear ram, the effect will be undone when you try to access a paged application. I am not saying that that is what this program does, I am saying that that is what most ram optimizers do, and I don't like to use them for that reason.
