Tarun Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Those things never work. The idea you can "clean" or "defragment" your RAM is a common Windows myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if my process meter was at 42% and I used this tool and now it's been running at 32% for the past hour then I'm just seeing something that isn't there. Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent noticed anything different to be honest deffinate not any slower. I would think that regaining some of your ram leak back would improve things. Still on 32% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious Your pagefile and RAM was most likely freed of memory by an application closing or being minimized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 30, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2006 They don't work and they slow down your computer is absolutely true. The real solution is to just buy more RAM instead of using placebo tools that don't do squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 FreeRAMXPPro monitors your RAM and can clear it up when it runs low. I've been running it for a long time and haven't had any problems with it. http://www.yourwaresolutions.com/software.html#framxpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I would also stay away from any such tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Unless you're really squeezed for RAM (in which case get more), what's the point? ... to see how much of your RAM you can avoid using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
