If your PC seems to be acting really slow, it could be memory related. Recently I came across this program called FreeRAM XP. Recommended by PC Magazine, FreeRAM XP will help to make the best use of your RAM possible.

Is your memory getting a little hazy? It could be all those drugs you ingested when you were young. Or, in the case of your computer’s RAM, it could be all those impolite programs that don’t manage memory correctly. When ill-mannered programs don’t release your computer’s RAM after you run them, FreeRAM can do the job. FreeRAM XP Pro is a freeware application that frees and defragments your computer’s random access memory. As you use your computer, open applications, surf the Internet, and navigate Windows, your system’s memory usually decreases. FreeRAM XP Pro frees up this memory, thereby increasing system response time, stability, speed, and efficiency.
