slowday444 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 "In practical, if you try to free memory on RAM, windows will write the necessary files or cache on hard disk instead which will drop overall system performance". I have 1G of ram and 66.6Gs of free hard drive space. Would this app make any sense for me at all?

Eldmannen Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 1 gb of RAM is alot and should be enough. I dont think you need it. But restart the computer once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 16, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2005 I also don't think you need it especially since you have 1 GB of RAM. Some caution needs to be used with the RAM refresh/defrag programs as I remember a few years ago when some of them were messing up systems when users were trying to free too much RAM. Edit: For some reason I've noticed over the past few years that running Ad-Aware's smart scan seems to refresh the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted November 17, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2005 @ Vanguard382 The Memtest86 website has a downloadable .ISO package that will allow you to create a bootable CD-R or CD-RW. Just load the .ISO with your CD recording software and burn a disc as usual to create the bootable CD. Then place the disc into your CD drive that boots first and restart Windows. Edit: Forgot to mention: Use the Windows boot menu to start from the bootable CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
