RamActive

With Windows there can be problems with the high demands on the computers memory. The ever increasing demand for better graphical displays, music playing and other high use puts pressure on a computer's memory programs, especially with games. All leading to a snail paced computer as the memory chugs through each requirement. The slow down affecting each processes. RamActive aspires to remove the chaos in memory, to hold a volume of free memory to reasonable limits and to clear areas of the unused memory.

RamActive Features:

• Windows Startup - Configure RamActive to startup for a single user.
  
  
• Select Ram to Free - Defines the amount of RAM that will be recovered when the minimum free ram level is reached.
  
  
• Clear the clipboard when optimize memory - RamActive will also clear the Windows clipboard* when freeing RAM.
  
  
• Cleaning RAM hot key - Hotkey to free up as much RAM as possible at a particular time.
  
  
• Process Information - You can see all running application (processes) in your Windows system. As addition, this tool also let you change the priority for each application.
  
  
• Automatic RAM optimization - RamActive will try to recover X MB of your RAM every Y minutes.
  
  
• Improve Core System Performance - On systems with large amount of RAM this tweak can be enabled to force the core Windows system to be kept in memory and not paged to disk.
  
  
• Automatically Unload DLLs from Memory - Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) in memory for a period of time after the application using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient use of memory on low memory systems, and may cause problems or delays for programmers developing with Windows DLL files.
  
  
• Change Hung Application Timeout Value - It will force Windows to shutdown immediately ending all tasks without attempting to safely close any applications that have hung.
  
  
• Optimize the System Cache Size - This setting controls whether the system cache is optimized for a Desktop computer or network server. Network servers usually require more memory dedicated to file caching, while desktop computers require more memory for running software applications.
  
  
• Optimize Large Second Level Cache - Windows is optimized for a 256KB secondary cache by default. With most computers now having L2 caches larger than that it pays to take the time to change the setting to correspond to the size of the cache memory installed.
  
  
• Clear the Page File at System Shutdown - Windows does not normally clear or recreate the page file. On a heavily used system this can be both a security threat and performance drop. Enabling this setting will cause Windows to clear the page file whenever the system is shutdown.
