Chris-PC RAM Booster is a program that monitors and optimises RAM to help prevent computer slowdowns. The author guarantees a noticeable increase in game performance after adjusting the sliders, though this depends on the situation.
Chris-PC RAM Booster is free to download, and the activation key is included in the archive.
Features:
- You specify the threshold at which the software starts cleaning up memory. When the available RAM falls below the specified minimum, the software automatically cleans it up to prevent the system from dumping resources into the paging file. The paging file is virtual memory on disk, which is much slower; therefore, the longer the system operates in physical memory, the better.
- The statistics tab displays the amount of free and used RAM, as well as paging file utilisation. You can choose two thresholds: the first is the minimum free memory at which the software will notify you, and the second is the amount of memory it will try to free up when cleaning.
- After initial configuration, the software resides on the system tray and runs automatically, reducing the need to open it each time. Interestingly, the system tray displays current memory consumption in real time, making it simple to keep track of.
- There are numerous options for changing full-screen behaviour, the CPU-to-memory ratio, and more. The interface is straightforward, so even a newbie can figure it out without assistance.
Such memory optimisers are contentious; for computers with 16 GB or more of RAM, the effect is negligible.
A related option is Wise Memory Optimiser, which is absolutely free and does not require any keys; it accomplishes the same task but is simpler. Consider also looking into Mem Reduct, which is free and open-source, extremely lightweight, and works wonderfully.
