Publisher's description of FreeRAM XP Pro

FreeRAM XP Pro includes automatic memory monitoring and optimization; advanced tray support; fast, threaded freeing with a stop option; multiple system-metric monitors; a simple and attractive GUI; memory reporting and diagnostic logging; and real-time memory information. FreeRAM XP Pro's AutoFree feature intelligently scales how much RAM is freed with your current system status, thus optimizing RAM without slowing down your computer. Additionally, FreeRAM XP Pro's unique Global Memory Compression technology frees memory instantly in a way that is completely unlike other memory managers. FreeRAM XP Pro has been designed to be easy to use yet highly customizable by computer novices and experts alike.

Version 1.52 enables Global Memory Compression by default for all memory freeing operations (this can be disabled through the Settings); adjusts AutoFree to be slightly more conservative when freeing RAM; and fixes a minor installation bug.

Editor's review of FreeRAM XP Pro

• "Free program frees your RAM"

Even if you're not a RAM whiz, you can still easily free up RAM on your running system? By selecting AutoFree mode and then 'go,' FreeRAM XP Pro can automatically optimize your system, balancing levels between your memory cache and the computer's speed. Those with a little more RAM know-how can specify the amount they'd like freed in the program's extensive settings menu. Remember that attempting to free up more RAM than your system can handle will subsequently slow it down. Reporting options, a slew of memory monitoring tools, and the ability to place a preset of your memory settings to the desktop are reasons to try FreeRAM XP Pro.

  "An average performer"

  by RailJockey on March 23, 2006

  Pros: The program is ok, but if you have serious RAM issues, you need more memory, not a steroid for the mem you have. It's easy to use, but did not impress me all that much.

  Cons: It works, but if you have serious memory issues, get more memory. This will not save your life, it might save the moment.

  "Slowed my computer"

  by Irobotbender on May 12, 2006

  Pros: ????Fairly simple to use??????

  Cons: Although FreeRam didn't seem to hurt or freeze up my computer, it did seem to slow several applications down a considerable amount. ZA loaded extremely slow, & after several other applications loaded first. After a few attempts to adjust the settings, I decided to uninstall FreeRam instead, which restored normal performance back to my computer. I run a 6 year old computer with XP from ME with a 256 ram, p4. I also keep as few proccesses running as possible, & run a cleaner utilities, keep the cache clean, & defrag often. Perhaps my computer runs cleaner than I thought therefore FreeRam can't help much.

  "Not for me!"

  by DeatHValleYNightS on April 13, 2006

  Pros: I think it work...I'm not really sure. :(

  Cons: I'm running on 248 RAM (technically 256 but...) and currently have 60 + background processes. When FreeRAM XP Pro was freeing RAM, it completely slowed my system to the point that I could not do anything until it was finish. There is no official way to uninstall the program, and I'm hoping that deleting all the files will do the trick. And I'm not even sure if it helped my system in the first place. My verdict: try it and decide for yourself!
