Freeup Memory In One Click With Instant Memory Cleaner

Topics Computer, Software on February 25th, 2008

Managing PC memory isn’t as big an issue as it used to be, but freeing up memory can still provide benefits. Rather than spending a lot of time closing old processes, installing Instant Memory Cleaner is a quick solution.

Once installed, this tiny app (and it really is tiny at 1.8MB) sits in your system tray and if you hover your mouse, it will tell you how much memory is available. To free up memory all you have to do is right click on the icon and select ‘Clean Memory’. Within seconds your PC will have more memory available, which will make all those resource hungry apps you run, move along that little bit faster.

To Check your Paging File:

- Go into the Control Panel.
- Click on System.
- Go to the Advanced Tab.
- Under ‘Performance’ click ‘Settings’ then the Advanced Tab.
- On the bottom you should see ‘Virtual Memory’ and a value. This is the value that must be at least as large as the physical memory of your system.
- If the ‘Virtual Memory’ value is smaller than your system memory (with the ‘System managed size’ default option checked, this is rarely happened) and in order the Instant Memory Cleaner application to be more effective, click ‘Change’ and change the Min - Virtual Memory to a number that is greater than your total system memory (Custom size > Initial size = Maximum size).
- Click ‘Set’ and Reboot.
