But wait, I thought these "RAM freeing programs" were useless, especially on Windows XP, and worse, could even slow down my computer!
We realized this was a problem too, in earlier versions of FreeRAM XP Pro and with the vast majority of other RAM freeing/memory utility programs out there. That's why we designed the AutoFree memory optimization option, which is unique to FreeRAM XP Pro. It frees up enough RAM to flush out uncleared and leftover data from RAM, enabling your computer to respond quickly to loading new applications and performing other tasks which require RAM (which spans most or almost all of typical computer usage), but it won't try to allocate so much memory that much of it gets written to the hard drive, which really can slow down performance. AutoFree computes the optimal amount of RAM to free according to your total installed RAM, available RAM, current swap file size, and other dynamic system metrics. And one of the best parts about FreeRAM XP Pro is the customizability--if you don't like AutoFree, you can set your own amount to free, along with a slew of other configurable options to suit your tastes and computing environs, and such options can be called up easily with just a few keystrokes (i.e., a Windows shortcut) or by right-clicking on the system tray icon.
Finally, we'd like to say that Windows XP is, undoubtedly, a step up above Windows 95 and 98 in terms of memory management, and that FreeRAM XP Pro will most likely not, of course, do "miracles" for your computer (although some users have reported improvements close to that level). Actual results will vary according to your own computer, as can be expected. But we think that in almost all cases, whether your computer is running 32 MB or 1024 MB of RAM, FreeRAM XP Pro's ease of use, RAM-freeing effectiveness, extensive features, AutoFree functionality, and comprehensive data reporting will enhance your computing experience in, most likely, more ways than one. And since FreeRAM XP Pro is completely free (and we mean completely--not something you find often these days!), you really have nothing to lose. |
