As I've mentioned in previous
posts, for the number of apps I tend to run concurrently, my system is starved for RAM. Yes, I know this could be easily
remedied, but until I get around to it I'm really enjoying Cacheman, a Windows app from Outer
Technologies that's "designed to improve the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and
a number of other settings." In addition to helping you tweak some settings to give your computer a little boost,
Cacheman also has a great memory recovery mode that'll monitor your computer's memory use and, when it's running low,
shuffle things around in RAM and free up anywhere from (in my experience) 10-50MB of physical memory. For that feature
alone Cacheman is worth it's weight in gold, but fortunately for us software doesn't weigh anything and Cacheman is
free.Optimize Windows' memory usage with Cacheman

I used this a long time ago. When running on a very old pc I could play full screen Divx video without any problems. Without it video was very choppy. So if you have a very slow computer I recommend this very highly.
