OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?
 

My computer has really slowed down lately, and isn't using RAM very effectively based on the sound of data being written and retrieved on the hard drive.

Does anyone have a suggestion of a good RAM cleaning utility program? I looked at CNET, and there are so many available. Of course, they all say they are the best!!

Thanks...Greybeard

The absolutely best RAM utility is MORE RAM!!

It's really good. Another is MemTurbo. Sorry, no URL for it. Hope that helps!

Greybeard, I use MemTurbo. It seems to help, but I can't say its the greatest thing since sliced bread. With only 48 MB, I try to run a pretty lean machine and let MemTurbo clean out the deadwood to free up as much RAM as possible. Give it whirl. If it doesn't help, trash it.

I found the link for you. Easy enough. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I use StartStop.

It gives you the ability to control all of those semi-useless programs which on startup.

It's not super efficient, but it frees up some wasted space.

I think this depends on your OS. If it is Windows ME. Then the best thing is to get rid of it!

Ram can be very powerful. The best ram utility IMO is organic armor. (sorry, couldn't resist) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I installed for about 100 US $ 256MB RAM into my old PII 233MHz with 32 MB RAM originally. It is almost as I have a new computer.

RAM was cheaper than that Last year, actually. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
