Optimize Windows' memory usage with Cacheman

CachemanAs I've mentioned in previous posts, for the number of apps I tend to run concurrently, my system is starved for RAM.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
