How's your computer running? Need more memory?

If you're using Windows, there's a nice little program that can (and does!) optimize your memory, by shutting down unused processes running in the background that use up your available memory without any real benefits to you when you're busy doing something requiring a lot of memory. It's called CleanMem.

What's so special about this one as compared to other memory-cleaning programs? Unlike those others, this one doesn't simply push some of your memory functions into the hard-disk's page file, thus slowing down your performance, because the hard-disk doesn't respond as fast as your RAM usually can. So this keeps everything still active in your faster-responding RAM (Random Access Memory) while still weeding out the non-essential 'standby' items you probably don't need right now. Result: Less memory is tied up waiting for further requests, and more of it is free to do what you ask of it right now, and none of it got pushed off into the Page File where it takes a longer time to recover it again. Your computer is happier, you're happier, and you didn't have to buy additional RAM, which you might or might not have enough room to install on the motherboard.
