<description><![CDATA[While the program can't work miracles, I love it.  My work machine has only 512Mb, and I leave it on for week (I regularly have about 10-15 tasks open at a time (some of them browsers, with 3 or 4 tabs), so opening that all up every morning would just be a pain.)  The problem is that, by the end of the week, everything is very slow, and I often have to re-boot during the week.

I now keep this program minimised, and glance periodically at that meter.  When it drops too low, I quickly run it, and it helps - a lot.  It's probably too soon to tell, but so far, my machine certainly operates much better than it has in the past.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I downloaded, and tried this, but i didn't see any difference... I have 1GB Ram in my laptop, and Windows defaultly use about 460MB, this program didn't unload any dll, modul, etc. It is shiny and decorativ, but useless...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[These apps are useless. The built-in XP memory manager does an excellent job without leaving "holes" or other mythical bottlenecks. Constantly flushing your cache actually creates more disk access. Stay away from this kind of stuff ... it never delivers what it advertises.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This program sounds like a good one but I will have to pass on it.. 

Memory optimizers only work in some cases.

Limiting the amount of useless programs installed is a better way of keeping your ram and processor free. 

This pick has no affect on how great I think the crew at GAOTD is..
GAOTD is still the best.. 

Thanks]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I forgot to report:

I normally use no mmemory optimizer on Win XP Pro. This particular machine has only 512 MB RAM, AMD 64 3600 CPU. I am running 44 processes including: IE 7 with five tabs open and Windows Live toolbar loaded with a crapload of buttons, Windows Live Messenger, K9 Anti-spam, AVG AV and anti-spyware, iobi Home (a service that gives my 'puter control over my phone service), a biometric device control program, ATI Control Center, Gigabyte Tech Sound Manager (for my Dolby Surround Sound), the Task Manager and a bunch of services for all the above.

While my RAM reports most of my RAM is in use, My CPU load floats around 4% on idle, and up to a whopping 8% when I start typing (it drops to 0% very frequently, and the 8% is the normal peak with spikes up to 15%.

As I edit this, I open a new IE7 Window, RAM useage barely moves, CPU spikes to 94% for about one second, and IE 7 is open completely within four seconds.

I ran TwaekRAM earlier, using the exact same test. RAM was cleared, sure. For about thirty seconds. CPU useage floated around 30%, jumping up around 40% when I start typing. The same test loading IE7 with all that other stuff above took ten seconds to load a second window for IE7, with TweakRAM running.

Now, exactly how is TweakRAM making my system more efficient?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A waste of time. Memory optimization has not been needed since Win 95. If you get a speed boost, then your system is kludged up. Probably from installing memory resident junk like memory optimzers.

It's been a great experiment, trying to give away free software. I think that horse has broken its leg beyond repair. Time to get out that old revolver and put the poor thing out of its memory.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I actually have been recently thinking that I need to get a memory flushing program. I have to work with some pages on a regular basis that are loaded with poorly written javascript. Kicking that crud out of memory can make a big difference (on my Win98 and Millenium Machines).

I used to use a freeware program put out by MSI (they make motherboards etc.) which I was really happy with. It was pretty simple, nothing fancy and rock solid stable (and of course it worked). Along time before that I had used another one that I cant remember the name of. I couldn't find the one by MSI, when I looked just a couple of weeks ago. I'd be really interested in hearing about the freeware alternatives that some of you are using. 

I do have Machines with XP as well (which don't need a program like this) but I still like using Win9x, and I have one with 2GB of memory that gets full of junk sometimes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Try Maxmem from Analogx.com.  It's freeware, simple and works well.  I first tried maxmem on my slow computers for ocassional use 5 or 7 years ago.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Already downloaded this the previous time it was offered. The only real use for me is when I want to free up memory for other programmes/games (after unloading all the memory resident utilities in the system tray) or to get rid of stuff remaining in memory after a program crash. It sometimes works. I usually run it a couple of times in a row the get some results. Then I lose it.

Thanks kalmanizer (#56). TZ Connection Booster did a great job for me. Better than TCP Optimizer. Good suggestion!]]></description>
