Notice ================================================================================ To effectively use WinRamTurbo, you must realize that if your computer has existing hardware or software conflicts, you first must resolve those problems before you use WinRamTurbo. WinRamTurbo does not resolve these conflicts for you, it is a performance enhancer for computer systems which do not have existing operating system conflicts.

How WinRamTurbo Works ================================================================================ WinRamTurbo is a System Memory Management tool which releases allocated memory that has been fragmented and left behind once an application has been shutdown which eliminates trash build up, keeps memory free and clean and ends inefficient or sporadic memory access as seen when switching among the different concurrent running applications. A swapfile (or Virtual Memory) is important because often, the programs we use require more RAM than we have. Instead of returning an error message and refusing to run, the program can use the swapfile for the extra memory that is needed. The swapfile acts as pseudo-RAM by using some of the hard disk space to store the data that would normally need to be stored in the RAM. WinRamTurbo optimizes the file and disk cache to allow sustained rapid access of cached data. A disk cache (also called Virtual Cache or just simply VCache) is important for improving hard disk performance. The disk cache caches or stores data from the hard disk in the much faster RAM so that if a program requires that piece of data, it can just access the disk cache for it, instead of loading from the hard disk. The disk cache can also read ahead by copying more data than what the program asked for in the assumption that the following consecutive data segment will be needed next. These are some of the methods employed by the disk cache to improve your hard disk performance. By default, Windows grabs most of the unused RAM at bootup to use as disk cache. Then, it is supposed to release the RAM used for the dynamic disk cache when a program requires it. This is a rather fine idea as the unused RAM is better utilized as a disk cache rather than just left there. Memory is the main performance problem with Windows operating systems. Running out of RAM or inefficient use of memory slows your system down to a crawl, especially after surfing the Internet for extended periods of time or when you use graphic intensive games or programs! WinRamTurbo reduces General Protection Fault (GPF)/Page Fault errors, sometimes referred to as the "Blue Screen of Death", which would normally cause system crashes, rebooting, and loss of data, if memory was not properly optimized! 3. WinRamTurbo PRO Specifications ================================================================================ Description: WinRamTurbo PRO is a deluxe System Memory Management tool which optimizes your PC's performance either automatically or upon demand, by balancing the performance of three utilities (a Memory Optimizer, a File and Disk Cache Optimizer and a Performance Booster) effectively providing a System Memory Management tool which obtains the best performance from your computer under the most demanding conditions, whether it is from the home computer or from the office computer! Operations: The attractive GUI interface provides a clear and moving graphical representation of memory usage, swap file usage, and available system resources. Much more than a simple display program, WinRamTurbo PRO runs quietly in the background, doing its best to maximize real memory and minimize virtual memory usage, which can greatly enhance overall system performance. Set the memory trigger amount and the amount to attempt to free. When your real memory level is reduced to the trigger level, WinRamTurbo PRO springs into action, reclaiming what memory it can up to the specified amount. You can also reclaim memory manually. Overall performance boosting is enhanced by memory defragmentation, a process viewer/task manager, and a file and disk cache optimizer.

WinRamTurbo LITE Specifications ================================================================================ Description: WinRamTurbo LITE is a System Memory Management tool which optimizes your PC's performance either automatically or upon demand, by balancing the performance of three utilities (a Memory Optimizer, a File and Disk Cache Optimizer and a Performance Booster) effectively providing a System Memory Management tool which obtains the best performance from your computer under the most demanding conditions, whether it is from the home computer or from the office computer! The LITE is not as powerful as the PRO! Operations: The attractive GUI interface provides a clear and moving graphical representation of memory usage, swap file usage, and available system resources. Much more than a simple display program, WinRamTurbo LITE runs quietly in the background, doing its best to maximize real memory and minimize virtual memory usage, which can greatly enhance overall system performance. Set the memory trigger amount and the amount to attempt to free. When your real memory level is reduced to the trigger level, WinRamTurbo LITE springs into action, reclaiming what memory it can up to the specified amount. You can also reclaim memory manually. Overall performance boosting is enhanced by memory defragmentation, a process viewer/task manager, and a file and disk cache optimizer. The LITE is not as powerful the the PRO in this regard!
