Editor's review of Memory Guard

5.0 stars

Monitor memory and CPU usage in real time using this uncomplicated, impressive program. Memory Guard's well-designed interface displays easy-to-read meters and a graph for a quick look at your PC's current memory status and usage. Using the Options tab, you can quickly retrieve a fixed amount of memory with just a press of a button, and set the program to automatically optimize when the computer's memory falls below a user-specified limit or percentage. It docks in the system tray and shows available memory, which is fairly standard for applications of this type. What sets Memory Guard apart from its competitors are flexible tray-icon settings that allow the user to customize not only what information is displayed but how it's presented. We are especially impressed by the simple but effective color-coded graphics offered for the tray icon. Also of note are the Performance Modification options, which allow advanced users to optimize other areas and disable or enable a few system settings. Memory Guard is an easy-to-use and effective tool suitable for any user who needs to monitor and manage memory levels.

Version: Memory Guard 2.3

"Bulletproof"

by Mark Campidonica on May 26, 2005

Pros: I have a very overloaded machine with lots of applications and processes. This very reasonably priced utility keeps it humming. Doesn't hang up like other managers.

Cons: The interface is a bit large. Would like something like Memokit. Easy to understand though.

"Didn't Help - Slowed System"

by PayzanPW on February 7, 2008

Pros: Easy install, easy intuitive interface, fun to watch in action, good customizing options

Cons: My XP system was becoming increasingly slower, and I suspected low available memory. Sure enough, when I first ran Memory Guard, my available memory was sitting at 12%. Memory Guard freed it up to an amazing 75% (of 512Mb). Equally amazingly, evrything I was running slowed to a crawl and stayed there until I rebooted. I ran as usual for an hour or two, watching things slow down again as the RAM filled up (as shown by the MG icon in the tray), then ran MG again. Again, it freed RAM back up to 75%, but everything ran even slower than before, until I rebooted. Enough...I uninstalled MG. System is still slow, but not as slow as MG made it!
