Have you ever noticed how your computer always seems to run better after rebooting, your browser opens faster and pages appear to load a little faster? Do you wish it could be that peppy all day? Wel ...

I have been using Maxmem for the past 6-7 years on several computers. Unlike some other similar applications, this one is able to free up the memory without slowing down the running application. As good as it gets!

This program is small and easy to use, but after using it for seveal days, it failed to free up any memory on my machine. Result was the same when running it manually.

Easy to use, easy to install, easy to adjust. Takes up little space. Does what it says it will. Can't ask for anything more.

Since it's free. It does make more physical memory (RAM) available but at the expense of increasing the swap file usage. As my Ram usage level went down, my swap file size grew, and as you know, swap is much slower than ram. The other issue I had is that it even removes system memory processes from ram presumably placing them in the swap too. My system has never been slower, good work. 1.4ghz with 512MB ram XP Home, not exactly a fast machine, but normally does quite well until I used MaxMem. MaxMem has been off for ten minutes, and my system is still recovering. Physical memory usage is increasing, but the swap file is remaining the same. Gonna have to reboot to fix what this program made worse instead of better. Kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

A great little Memory Manager, the only thing I would like to see is a configuration setting to set the default priority and a setting which prevents auto-optimization when the CPU reaches a user defineable usage or greater.

MaxMem is nice in that it only automatically cleans when either you're almost out of memory, or the computer is sitting idle. It also seems less aggressive than some of the other memory cleaners/defraggers, so there doesn't seem to be as much "recovery time" after a clean is performed.

Running Win98se, I used to have memory problems, and I tried out at least a dozen "memory tools" over a period of weeks. MaxMem is the best, and not just among freeware: it's simple to use, easy to configure, small in size and in system-resource use, and it does *not* have any bugs (unlike most others). I can run my main graphics programs (sometimes two at once) and then open and close my font manager, on-screen ruler, color-matcher, etc., and Windows doesn't hold on to memory and lock up the way it used to. MaxMem is simply invaluable.
