Cloudeight InfoAve Computer tips and tricks- How to clear RAM without rebooting

Danielle wants to know how to clear RAM without restarting Windows
I look forward to your InfoAvenue newsletters - I have been a subscriber for five years now. You two REALLY give excellent advice and answers.

I am have plenty of RAM but I am the kind of user who runs many programs at once. I switch back and forth between them, so it's more convenient to leave them running so I can access them quickly. I have purchased many of the products you've recommended including - Spyware Dr., Registry Mechanic, and CalendarPal - I LOVE IT!.

I have 4G of RAM on my Vista computer but still opening and closing MANY programs leaves JUNK/residue in the RAM which ultimately starts slowing me down. The only way I know to completely clear RAM is to reboot. Is there any utility out there that can completely clear the program residue out of RAM without rebooting my computer? I am betting your answer will help not only me but many of your readers.

Our Answer
Hi Danielle. Thanks for your nice comments and for being a long-time subscriber.

We feel your pain. We like to leave many programs running too - we are constantly switching between browsers, graphics editors, MS Word, HTML editors, testing programs, and so forth. We don't like to have to keep shutting down programs only to have to reopen them a few minutes later. And you're right, after a few hours of this, the computer starts to slow down, regardless of how much RAM you have installed. The RAM cache starts getting fuller and the computer slows down noticeably.

There a small program (534KB) called RAMRush that works on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 that can flush your RAM cache and restore RAM without having to reboot your computer. It's free and easy to use. As the author says - no experience necessary.

Rather than us rambling on and on about this program and what it does, here's what the developer has to say about his product:

"RAMRush is a free memory management and optimization tool. It can efficiently optimize memory usages of your Windows system, free up physical RAM and make your system work better. RAMRush uses an intelligent way to manage the physical memory and lets the RAM work in a better performance. It will help you to prevent system crashes, memory leaks and keep your computer running more efficiently.

RAMRush is easy and powerful to use for both beginners and experts. NO Experience Or Computer Skills Necessary!

RAMRush is a FREEWARE, you could download and use it free of charge. 100% CLEAN! No Spyware or Adware!"

We think you'll find this program will help you maintain your habit of running many programs simultaneously - without suffering the slowdowns that often occur after several hours of multitasking. Try it! You can get RAMRush free from the developers Web site.
