Release Unused Memory with VC RamCleaner
One of the main factors that causes computer performance slowness could be due to memory leak whereby memory is not being released properly after it was used. If a computer is running with applications all the while, the applications could have been occupying the available memory each and every time without releasing it properly, and all these could be accumulated and eventually resulting in system slowness. In order to eliminate the slowness performance caused by memory leak, what we normally do is to reboot the computer, which is not always desirable. Instead, now with this utility named as VC RamCleaner, it will able to clean up unused memory in order to speed up performance without the need of rebooting your PC.
VC RamCleaner is a nifty utility that comes with a very simple user interface. Once you have launched it, it will display Total System Memory and Available System Memory in MB. To free up unused memory, just click on Clean System Memory button and the whole cleaning process may take from few seconds up to few minutes. While running the cleaning process, you will notice the figure shown at Available System Memory keep on increasing and once the cleaning process is completed, it will display the total MB of memory that has been released. Besides, it provides you the feature to pre-configure how many rounds you would like the memory cleaning process to be ran automatically. Basically there are two options that you can choose, namely Standard Passes and Passes Until Zero. Standard Passes option will perform the memory cleaning process according to the number you have configured but it will not force to release all unused memory. Whereas with Passes Until Zero option, it will do the memory cleaning process according to the number you have configured and it will force each round of cleaning process to release unused memory until zero byte of wasted memory being achieved. To configure these options, just go to Settings -> Set Clean System Memory, then tick the Deactivate checkbox and set the number at either Standard Passes or Passes Until Zero option.
VC RamCleaner ver 1.00 is absolutely free to download and is compatible to run on Windows XP/2000. Alternatively, there are other memory optimizer or RAM reducer such as Minimem or HLP Free Memory Optimizer for other options with similar goal.

What a load of crap.
If an application is “leaking memory” (and most do to some extent, no big deal) then restart that application. *ALL* of the memory allocated to that program, leaked or not, is released. No exceptions, ever. No need to reboot.
If the windows kernel or a driver is “leaking memory” then you are SOL. Reboot. These are very rare.
Think about it – if an algorythm was known that found and freed leaked memory from any application, then wouldn’t all applications (or the OS) use this algorythm themselves to fix their own memory leaks?
The fact is it is bloody hard for a software developer (I am one) to find and fix leaks in their application, when they are using profiling tools and are stepping through the source code with a debugger.

How on earth such a program will recognize the leak and free it? No way! When a program is leaking memory, it is just memory it is allocated, but forgot to free, you can’t tell if the program needs that memory or have forgotten about it. What these “mem optimizers” do is to try to allocate huge chunk of memory, making windows check out least accessed memory arreas and page them on the disk. With that a lot of programs just sitting on the background have their memory paged, so you take 20 seconds to see that firefox tab back, etc. Stay away from such a programs.

I can’t believe someone running a blog called My Digital Life would introduce a program like this to its readers.
Like others, I relish a lot of useful fare here. It doesn’t matter that I’ve already learned about most of what’s being served up, because I want to view things from another point too.
However, it doesn’t mean I can just be fed crap like this by laying it on the same table.

No. No. No. No. No!
These. Programs. Do. Not. Work.
Any. Memory. Leaks. Are. Negligible.

only a complete idiot would use such a program.
if someone has the slightest clue he knows that these things are a urban myth and will not speed up your system even 1%.
real experts have proven that.
