this program didn't give you more ram but it watches it and lets you know what it is doing. Plus it did clean up from programs that is not running any more.
btw Khai you are one of the people at Sixus? anything new over their?

yup...he's one of the Sixus, or half dozen of the other..;) It's almost cheaper to buy RAM than to worry about it nowadays.

What an "interesting" link, and by interesting I mean ridiculous. The link goes to a blog or intro to the story, which urges readers to click for more. Clicking there takes the reader to another page which is the same intro for the same story. From there, to read the story, the reader has to pay a subscription fee.
Folks, this isn't useful. A link to a page that links to a page that links to a page if a fee is paid is not a useful link. Why post it?

oops posted the wrong link... or was it free when I book marked it? I will of course now commit suicide as the tone of the post above indicates I should.
I choose my method of suicide as Old Age....

@CappuccinoDavid - if you haven't found anything else yet go to: giveawayoftheday.com where you can download this pay-for prog for free for the next 6 hours still.
BUT... make sure you click on the comments section at the download page first to read what people write about memory optimizers in general.
General consensus seems to be: restart your computer to cleanse your RAM and if you have mem problems the best solution is buy more RAM.
In a rebuttal someone makes a point, it seems to me, re leaking mem from alredy closed progs which refuse to release it. (culprits cited such as MS Word, Excell, Adobe Reader)
Even if you're too late now or don't want to get this prog other freeware alternatives are listed therein along with some informative opinions.
