Hello All,

Recently came across this software called "SuperRam", which supposedly work in the back ground to free up used RAM memory.

"SuperRam 6 increases computer performance by freeing wasted
memory back to your computer. By optimizing memory
utilization your computer will operate at stable speeds and
never run out of memory. Very easy to use, fully compliant
with all current versions of Microsoft Windows and
automatically frees memory in real-time. With SuperRam your
computer will run faster than ever before. Boost the
performance of your PC the easy way" http://www.pgware.com/


Never used any of these kind of softwares before and wonder if it's necessary? If so, are there other similar softies, which may be better or worst?

Any and all thoughts and recommendations would be much appreciated.
 
Apps like this wind up killing memory that it shouldn't have and just causing more issues.

If you are on Vista/Win7, don't worry about your memory.

Woh! didn't know that. Glad you brought that up. Can't afford to lose these sticks now.

I do have Windows 7.

Appreciate the info.

Windows 7/Vista essentially does this by default. I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I recall people using programs like this back in the Win 9X days with varying degrees of success. I agree with the above comments, if you're using Vista/7 or even XP I wouldn't worry about it.
 
This sounds like another program that got dragged from the XP era days of silly tweaks. Win 7 is very smart with how it handels RAM.

FIFY. Memory "optimizers", "defraggers", and "reclaimers" have always been stupid, unnecessary crapware, even back when Windows 95/98 was all the rage.

Nothing more than the digital equivalent to snake oil.
 
Win 9x wasn't the best with memory management IMO. I used to do a bunch of manual tweaks on my own systems. Some people would use programs to achieve the same effect. From XP on I didn't bother with the manual tweaks in most cases. Either way, these programs are essentially BS.
 
Best memory management is to disable all the crap that loads at startup.
Delete anything you don't need from:

start/all programs/startup

HKEYlocalmachine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

HKEY localuser\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

Backup the registry keys before removing anything just in case.
 
Very interesting inputs, guys, thanks a bunch. had no idea so much had changed for the better with windows, in regards to memory management. Glad to know, we don't need these kinds of softwares any more.

What do I do with the HKEYs? Sorry for such noobie questions, but really had no idea. Thanks for helping.
 
Unless there's a memory leak somewhere, your RAM is being utilized for a reason. Photoshop using up 2.5 gigs of RAM? That's not because it's broken, it's because it's got something sitting there for fast access.

If you're not sure what to do then I'd suggest finding someone that does when it comes to playing with the registry.
 
Any proficient readings/tutorials suggestions for noobies? I feel I need to lean this stuffs at some point any way.

Thanks in advance.
