Computers
once had such small memories that Windows couldn't remember where it put its
keys without registering them (it still can't, actually), but today's PCs have
so much random access memory (RAM) that Windows can do much more than walk and
chew gum at the same time, computationally speaking. Plenty of PCs still come
up short in the RAM department, though, including a lot of older machines
struggling to keep up with today's bloated Web sites and high-quality
multimedia. For those PCs, the answer is the same today as it was way back
then: a tool that monitors your system's memory and frees it up when it drops
below a certain point. PGWARE's SuperRam is an up-to-date shareware release of
this venerable class of utility. It runs in the background and frees up memory
resources on demand. It's free to try for 30 days and costs just under $15;
it's not expensive, certainly, but whether it's worth the cost depends on your
system.
SuperRam's
colorful, dialog-style interface is fairly typical of shareware system
utilities in their varieties, with a large pie graph depicting RAM use,
controls to access settings and run the benchmarking test, and some links, but
little else. SuperRam is designed to run in the background. We started by
opening the Settings to view the program's options. SuperRam's Memory
Performance Settings involve two sliders, Memory to maintain and Memory to
free. Changing a slider changed the memory values in the detailed explanation
of what SuperRam does -- a nice touch. The Advanced Settings let us refine the
percentage of memory to be freed, as well as the interval and similar options,
and we could also change the background and graph colors. Clicking Help opened
a complete Help file. However, SuperRam proved easy to use without it.
On
a scale of one to 10, SuperRam benchmarked our test system's 8 GB RAM's
performance at 10, so we saw little benefit from running it (and more from not
running it, actually). But it's definitely worth a look if your PC's memory is
failing: It's free to try, and way cheaper than a new PC.
Editors'
note:
This is a review of the trial version of SuperRam 6.4.8.2013.
SuperRam
increases computer performance by freeing wasted memory back to your computer.
By optimizing memory utilization your computer will operate at stable speeds
and never run out of memory. SuperRam constantly runs in the background on your
computer and determines when the memory on your computer is getting to a low
threshold. Once it reaches this threshold it immediately frees memory back to
the computer and makes programs run faster since they have access to physical
memory.
What's
new in this version: Version 6.4.8.2013 fixes some graphics within software,
removed several captions that were no longer used.
