I generally don't do this sort of thing, but this evening I downloaded an update to a nifty bit of freeware I've been running on a few older PCs. This update made said nifty bit of freeware into a superbly awsome bit of freeware that everyone should look into.
My "home" PC is a little subnotebook that has a maximum of 256meg RAM. I'm usually sitting at around <20% (64mb or less) free RAM. What with all the drivers, ddls and crap, most of the time my system resources are maxed out and my swap file is banging hard - slowing down an already paltry 800mhz machine. :(
HOWEVER, using the "freeram" (v.1.4) TSR from "Yourware Solutions" ( http://www.yourwaresolutions.com/ ) I gained about 20% of my RAM back. Version 1.5 is even better. I run closer to 50% free ram with very low system resource usage. More free ram = more ram for the active process = faster process. :)
If you are using the old "leaky" Win98/ME or just don't have the bread or space for more RAM this little program is for you. :cool:
Download from Cnet (http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=FreeRAM+XP+YourWare+Solutions&tg=dl-2001) or the Yourware site.
