Many computer programs do not dump the memory used to load after exiting, thus using up valuable random access memory. Solution!!

RAM Idle is a memory management program that is designed for Windows (95/98/2000/Me). With an easy to use interface, RAM Idle enables your applications to load faster and more responsively by making more physical memory available for the system. Use it to free up a selected amount of physical memory when the minimum level is reached. You can also use it to free up a selected amount of physical memory at a regular interval, and free up the physical memory manually as needed.

When you run RAM Idle for the first time, it will find and define the recommended levels for your system. However you may need to define these manually to find the best combination that will give you the best performance for your system.

The program includes various additional features, such as the ability to display free memory in the tray icon, show the percentage of free RAM and page file, automatically start with Windows, and ability to free up amount of RAM manually from the popup menu.

If you use Windows 2000, please make sure that you download RAM Idle for Windows 2000 version.

Re: Download site

Thanks for the info! I just downloaded it and will give it a test fly. BTW, I've been using Opera since your recommendation last spring and have been very pleased with it, so a belated thanks for that too!!
