Do we really need a software like this nowadays? I used RAM Booster with Windows 98 and 192Mb RAM. But now I have XP with 3GB.

I have 8GB of RAM and very often i need to empty the cache because im working with huge orchestral sample pack (music production) that really NEEDS ram ...

so any time i need to re-load a different full sample pack into the ram.. i need a cleanup before ...

even if i clean 300mb's
for me it will be 2 more full instruments

it is not only for people with 100 year old computers that cry for performance

Rizone Memory Booster does not run on the placebo memory optimization engine and will not force any memory out of your ram. This little tool makes a Windows API call that tells Windows to clean up the workspace of all processes thus freeing up any memory, processes no longer needs.

Summary

It is best to leave the management of virtual memory to Windows and not take it into your own hands. Any benefit from these programs is an illusion and temporary. You incur the penalties of paging memory back in sooner or later, even if it appears that the program you run after the cleanup loads faster.

If you decide on using one of these programs because your needs do actually warrant it, at least find one that pages out memory in a proper way (SetProcessWorkingSetSize API) instead of allocating gobs of memory to itself. I do not know which of these applications do it properly and which don't, but the less gimmicky they look, the better they probably are. An application like this written by a professional at least stands a better chance of performing its tasks in an optimal way and causing less performance degradation.
