Obtaining RAM Speeds and useful programs

Greg38H · 01-25-2006, 07:35 AM

Hello all, just a quick question here.

Can anybody suggest any free products for providing information about your installed ram such as the pc speed etc. Also what would you suggest for RAM-cleaning/free'ing products.

I only ask as there are hundreds to choose from.

Thanks

Everest Free Edition for system information and memdefrag to free/clean memory. I've just used memdefrag on my 512meg system which is running a few programs. Before running, it had 228mb free, now it has 330mb. It only takes a few seconds.

Another one (which I haven't tried yet) that is highly recommended is FreeRAM XP Pro

You can scan your computer at http://www.crucial.com/ that will tell you exactly what type/speed of RAM you need.

I think Everest have discontinued the Free Home Edition.

Lavalys have stopped providing support for the Home Edition, but the Free Edition is still available and works.

'Sandra' from my sig is another good system reader.
CPU-Z is a good, fast one for just CPU and memory.
