Maxmem

From the authors:

Have you ever wondered why it is that, when your first reboot your machine, it seems to run smoother and faster than it does after it's been running for a while? This is due in part to programs using system resources (like memory) and then failing to free it when they exit. The end result of problems like this is that your system runs slower and slower. Now you can take control of your computers memory usage with AnalogX MaxMem!

Before we delve to deeply into how AnalogX MaxMem works, let's just quickly cover how your computer uses memory. In Windows there are basically two types of memory: physical and page. Now physical memory is pretty easy to understand. It's how much RAM you have installed in your computer. So if your system has 64 megs of RAM, that really is just 64 megs of physical memory. The other type, page memory, is actually a file on your hard drive that the computer can save physical memory to periodically. As you can probably guess, page memory is not nearly as fast as physical memory. And that's the reason your computer starts to operate more slowly. As you run more programs that don't free up resources properly, they use up more and more physical memory, leaving less and less for other programs to use. What MaxMem does is forces the system to always have certain amounts of physical memory available, and ensures that it never drops below that amount. Also, when your machine is idle for an extended period of time, you can have MaxMem automatically free up a larger percentage of the system memory. This is great for servers or other systems that stay up for extended periods of time.
