Memory Cleaner
As its name suggests quite easily, Memory Cleaner is a free RAM cleaner that allows you to speed up your system by removing from your computer’s memory all the unnecessary information generated by programs during your work session. It is extremely compact, lightweight and specifically optimized for Windows 7 and Vista, operating systems where RAM management has changed a lot since XP and earlier. It can be operated either manually or operate automatically based on regular time intervals or when a minimum threshold of free RAM is reached.
FreeRAM XP Pro
FreeRAM XP Pro is a historical RAM cleaner tailored for Windows XP, which, as you know, manages computer memory less efficiently than more recent versions of the Microsoft operating system and therefore often needs a little “help”. The software is very lightweight and very easy to use even for newbies: just install it, run it and choose whether to run it manually, so as to instantly free the RAM from unnecessary information stored in it, or to set an automatic memory cleaning when a minimum threshold of available space is reached.
