  1. Review - FreeRAM XP Pro

    1.50 (Dec 29, 2005)

    The purpose of this program is explained on the website quite clearly. It keeps a reasonable amount of RAM available so newly started programs (or documents) can get going more quickly. It doesn't overdo it - it attempts to find a good balance between performance and RAM availability. It does this at times when you are less likely to notice it (low CPU usage).

    Without this management being done in this fashion, you'd have an additional wait when starting new programs/documents while WinDoze frees up memory for the task - this program eliminates that additional wait by making sure the memory is already freed before you need it without significantly affecting existing tasks.

    This program is excellent for heavy multi-taskers like myself.

    That said, I've had nothing but problems with the stability of v1.5. Granted, the PC I've tried it on isn't the most stable either, but I never had problems on v1.4 with the same PC. Fortunately, they have kindly kept the old version available for DL on their site. I'm working on setting up a clean new PC now, so I'll try v1.5 on that as well. I know it's not fair to bash the program considering the bad PC it's on, but I just thought I'd toss the warning out there and recommend v1.4 as a fallback if any problems are experienced...

    "...a widescreen AMOLED display, Wi-Fi, and an eye-catching QWERTY display..."

    Wow - it has TWO displays? What's a QWERTY display? :-p
