Freeing Up RAM

[mister ed]

There are plenty of RAM management software tools out there, available for free download. I personally use FreeRam XP Pro which does a good job.

BUT - sometimes I find my RAM has diminished and I don't know why and using the FreeRAM tool doesn't free it up...so what I do is I start up an .swf movie and let it run for a minute or so (or longer). While it is running it sucks up more RAM but when I then close the .swf file I notice, most of the time, a huge increase in available RAM, to levels beyond that which was available before running the .swf movie.

I know plenty of participants on this site contribute video tutorials in the .swf format ... so now they know that I find these tutorials useful in more ways than one!
