DON'T get any 3rd party software to manage RAM.
Just enable MS Windows Scripting Host (Control Panel > Add/Remove programs, Windows Setup tab, Accessories category, second from the bottom. Open Notepad, and copy the following into it, and save it as "freemem.vbs" including the quotes! FreeMem = Space(120000000) For 256 MEg of RAM or more. FreeMem = Space(90000000) For 128 meg-196 meg. FreeMem = Space(48000000) For 64 meg-96 meg. FreeMem = Space(20000000) For 32 meg-48meg. Put it on the desktop, or in the quick launch bar, and hit it once every hour or so. Takes a few seconds to run, but will free up the specified amount (or the closest to it possible) for use by new applications. You could also put it into the Task manager to run once every hour or so. |

Reboot
good one ! I used to use this( no resources used) instead of RamBooster(resources used), until I got 384 mb Ram. FYI for those of you who like to manage your own swap file, make sure it is large enough, or there will will a recursive scripting error that will drive you nuts. |

Greg
I'm with you..I let windows manage the swap. some don't have as much ram or some just like to have a small swap file. That VBS script forces memory out to the swap file, so the swap file has to be large enuff to take it. |
