RAM Def XT

There are several ways your system could benefit by using RAM Def freeware depending on how you choose to use it. Basically what it does is to manage or optimise the RAM automatically. It does so in many ways. In Silent Defragment it automatically starts-up and shuts down after it has finished defragmenting. This is particularly useful before running a memory-intensive application, or a modern 3D game. Just double click the "RAM Def - silent" icon on the desktop or in the start menu. In the Tray support mode RAM Def runs in the system tray, while monitoring RAM usage. You can even set it to run with Windows and define a "warning level" at which either visual warnings will be provided or RAM Def will automatically start defragmenting. Its conservative swap file usage is a unique feature and depending on your system configuration it may improve performance. Download available from: http://vstef.softnews.ro
