Memory optimizer programs are best way I know to slow a computer with multiple programs loaded. They fail to let Windows use it's cache properly by giving one program preference over another and slow the whole system. If you want a higher priority on your Windows system just right click the program process in the task manager and set the priority. People who think they are creating more ram by using these speed ups are only going to cause more headaches due to compatibility and ram used by the Speedup program. Most people with speed issues have other problems than ram. Usually malware or a underperforming video card due to very old systems running games or video beyond what the system was configured to due. I do not recommend any speedup programs of this nature even if they are free.

Your computer is running slow because of too many programs running at the same time, so adding another program will fix it? What's wrong with this picture?

These "boosters" are a relic from the Windows 98 days, when Windows didn't have a kernel capable of co-operative multitasking. Well since WinXP that is not the case and by using this "booster" all you will do is SLOW YOUR PC DOWN by disabling its ability to multitask wisely.

Picture you have say 5 programs running on your computer, okay? Windows will use a "round robin" style approach if your PC does not have enough cores for the job and let each program have a slice, what this does is disable the round robin by shoving a single program to the front and saying "ignore the other programs ONLY focus on this one" to the detriment of the others, so while that program might get done a whole 1%-5% quicker it will SLOW DOWN everything else causing the work you have to do to take more time since Windows can no longer optimize your cores based on load.

All of these "boosters and optimizers" are simply working from the old Windows 98 mindset, that the heart of Windows is so poor that a third party program can divide up resources better than the Operating System can and that just isn't the case anymore, so if you want a bit of advice from somebody who has been building and servicing PCs since the days of Windows 1.0? Leave these relics where they belong, in the past.

I don't need any optimizing tools, because I have plenty of power - and that keeps me from voting at this program. However thanks a lot for the offer to the developer and GOTD.
Btw I fell over a portable suite, with a load of tools, you can use to automate the tweaking og your pc. Please, take your time and check the features out - and not least : be very careful using the build in one click optimizer. I don't use that feature.

A usefull little tool is CleanMem (which doesn't move to pagefile, when you empty it : http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Memory-Tweak/CleanMem.shtml

Both is freeware, off course. Have a nice weekend. Greets from Denmark.
