Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Performance / March 2007Memory managers
I have Googled for memory manager reviews, but they are far from helpful. Anyone have any thoughts on whether a memory manager (Cyberlat RamCleaner, TweakRam) really helps performance or just uses up resources? Running W98SE, 256MB, PII350MZ, IBM PC300PL.

With the price of ram so low, why not just buy and install more. What kind of problems are you having that makes you think you are having a memory problem? Perhaps then, someone in this ng could help you out. > I have Googled for memory manager reviews, but they are far from helpful. > Anyone have any thoughts on whether a memory manager (Cyberlat RamCleaner, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks, > Dan Hacker Thanks for the reply. I am not currently having problems. But when I had only 64MB for W98SE, it creaked and groaned. So I bought Cyberlat RamCleaner ($5.00) to help with the problem. I have since upgraded to 256MB. However, I still have CRC running on my computer. I asked for opinions on memory managers because CRC didn't seem to be doing anything in particular. So I was curious as to what the knowledgeable consensus was -- useful utility/resource waster. It appear that I blew a WHOLE FIVE BUCKS on the program :-) Dan Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Madness takes its toll.

That 'could' be a couple of beers!!! :-) Create a worthless Memory Optimizer. Put blinking lights in it and fancy graphs showing a impressive level of nothingness happening when the program is used. Make up a fancy web site and promote it to the hilt. Sell the snake oil cheaply enough, so that many say: "It's just five bucks, what have I got to lose?" In no time a million people will buy the program and you will no longer be drinking draft beer! And if only 100,000 people buy the thing you will still have made a decent haul! John > 2 beers?
