Hi there. Just let you know I have an old 2003 Laptop with only 384mb ram and running CIS V5 full suite with no problems or slowdowns. I will admit though this is with XP not Vista. Kind regards
when i do have cis installed i notice a slow down. i had mse by itself for a couple weeks and my computer was faster then ever even tho mse uses like 70 mb of ram it still was faster then when i had cis installed. idk why i notice that slight slow down.
The problem with memory optimizers is that they usually have no effect, or actually decrease performance.
These memory optimizers force Windows to page data in RAM to your hard disk. This means when you access one of the programs that you’ve just forced parts of it to the HD, instead of a quick RAM call, it needs to load it off the HD again. Since your drive is considerably slower than your RAM, this is extremely inefficient.
There is no need to have free RAM sitting around. It’s just false economy. Windows will page things out itself if it needs to, but it will wait until it’s necessary in order to improve performance.
You can do a search for Memory Optimizer Myth, or Memory Optimizer Hoax and find out more than you probably ever wanted to know about these snake oil applications.
I don’t really have an opinion about any of the tools listed.
I looked at a few and they say things like “Optimizes [this or that]”, or “Speeds up [something]”, but doesn’t say what it actually does to accomplish this.
Without anything further to go on, I can’t say whether or not they may be useful/valid.
