Answer» Any opinions about RAM booster programs? I am trying RAMBooster v2.0, but have seen several others on freeware sites. Are they any GOOD? Do they work? Any problems with them? I use Win XP ProAre these the ones that are supposed to free up RAM? They do nothing for you. All they do is move some things out of RAM into the page file, which just slows your PC down. Avoid them, they do no good. Just my opinions though.I agree. They don't do anything Windows couldn't do. If you're low on RAM, buy some more With the speedup, you'll wonder how you ever survived before.And I'll agree with that. More RAM is the easiest and cheapest way to increase performance (usually). These programs to free RAM do more harm than good, it'd be better to just get some more RAM if you're low on it.Thanks for the advice.

Ah, the good old days, before I was even thought of . . .Lol, ram boosting tools probably use more than 4mb.I had one beast of a RAM booster (before I knew how useless they were) that sucked loads of RAM, it took up about 64Mb.
