RAM software??

[HondaF1]

Hi. I have seen a lot of software which claim to be able to free extra RAM and all that. Do they really work? Would it be beneficial to a system with 512 MB DDR in which during idle times there is 350 MB available? If yes, can someone please suggest a good RAM software ?

To my knowledge they do not work and should really not be used. The best way to actually clear ram is by doing this

Open up Notepad (Start, Run, "notepad" (OK)). Then put this in

Mystring = (80000000)

Save it as "Memory.vbe" (including the quotes!). Close as many programs as you can, then run (double click) this handy little script to free your memory whenever your computer is feeling sluggish.

If you have trouble running it, you may need the Visual Basic Runtimes.

This helps after games especially because there is alot of stuff leftover in ram

Yea, because lord knows that when the OS goes to page all of that data back in from disk in 10 minutes the box won't feel sluggish at all...

There's nothing "left over" in memory, sure the game's data files are cached because they were just used but if the memory is ever needed it'll be recycled just as if it was any other file being cached in memory.
