Nice job man!
I had the same problem when I had 512 of RAM as well.
*hopes to god it works on windows 98*
maybe this will help with me running opera 9 on 28 megs of ram
[QUOTE=Zarithas]Does this work on Vista 64-bit?[/QUOTE]
Yep, in fact I use vista ultimate x64.
Incredibly useful for my laptop, great job.
Awesome, It'd be neat if you could free RAM by just double-clicking the taskbar icon, then maybe have a little tooltip pop up with how much RAM it freed. It'd be helpful so you don't have to open the window every time you want to free RAM.

There's already a load percentage tooltip. I added a button to the tray menu to free ram, though, and updated to 2.1.
Last time I used one of these memory freer I got bluescreens and weird memory dumps and all sorts of funky shit. :tinfoil:

There are kinds that free memory by force, but this method is completely safe and non-invasive, at the cost of being less effective. The most effective method is to have an application take all your memory for itself then quit, but that puts a big load on the entire system and can take some time to totally bloat itself. RamFreer is totally safe and instantaneous, as all it does is reset the reserved memory for all processes so if a program starts reserving more memory than it's using, this will free up that unused reserved ram.
I thought these kind of programs didn't really work? Or atleast so I read.
I wouldn't have any use for this though on 2GB of RAM, even when running Crysis right?
And you should only do it while you are not doing anything right?

It would help crysis work faster because it would free up memory from other applications and give it to crysis, which needs it more.
It can be run no matter what else the computer is doing.
YES I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO DOWNLOAD V2.1 :dance: .

No, Mediafire has 19 downloads, the source code has 2 downloads, and VS-HS has 10. TechedRonan, the lead moderator at VS-HS, wants to see which people prefer. Before I deleted V2, the stats were 55, 6, and 38, respectively. Just now, I used VS-HS' banner to see how that affects the downloads.

Bah! What are the new features? It looks the exact same.
Tried it. Find it interesting on how it says I only have a gig of RAM when I have two gigs...

That would be an autoit bug, and I'm sure Jon would love to hear more. Are you sure one gig isn't just pagefile? I have the application only count physical RAM.
So, I'm guessing by the description this could possibly clear up memory leaks?
What happens if I keep clicking it?
Will it implode?
I'm gonna try it.

You can select the button and hold enter and it will hit the button as fast as your key repeat delay is set, but it ends up just not doing anything

[QUOTE=RJ Fighter]So, I'm guessing by the description this could possibly clear up memory leaks?[/QUOTE]
It won't stop them, but it would reverse their effects until they leak more. Because applications don't use leaked memory, so they only reallocate the memory that they need.
From 1.3 gigs used down to 834 mbs in counting.
[b]Edit:[/b]
800!
Won't go any lower than 780.

What the shit
I got it to go to 777 mbs with Firefox open with 5 tabs and 3 steam chat windows open and avast.
That makes no sense... are you using XP? Vista is much more effective at handling RAM, so maybe that's why it's not that effective for me as Vista is already keeping it pretty optimized.
Thanks a lot. This will really help out a lot of users with a little RAM.

Using vista.
It's back to 870 now. :/

Vista is supposed to use more rams by default because of the super fetch shit.
Basically this program probably slows things down more for Vista than it speeds things up.
That's really weird, how long has your computer been running since it was turned on?

I disable superfetch, all it does is analyze what programs you use most over time and the more you use it, the more ram gets allocated for it. I don't want vista to disregard newer applications or ones I don't use as much, so I figured fuck that.

It's been on since 3. Which is 2 hours ago. with firefox and steam running the whole time.
But it slowly went back up to 900-910 MBs.

That's not all it's used for.
