Ram Idle / FreeRAM

[2/18/05] My computer (HP Pavilion running Windows ME) slows down and occasionally locks up if I run too many programs on it. I suspect it's because it's using up too much memory which is not being reclaimed.

I noticed in freeware news a program called RAM Idle which is supposed to free up memory when it becomes too low. I had tried another program which didn't seem to help much. We'll see how this one goes.

[9/15/05] Windows ME still slowed down even with RAM Idle. It may not strictly be a RAM problem. But I'm now trying another one called FreeRAM XP Pro.
