Using MemTurbo
MemTurbo can do its memory defragmentation and recovery in three ways:
![]() |
On Demand When MemTurbo is running (even if hidden to the tray) you can trigger MemTurbo to compress and defragment by pressing its hotkey, which is by default CTRL-ALT-M (try it now!). You can also open the MemTurbo main window and click the "Run Now!" button. |
![]() |
When RAM
reaches a preset low level * By adjusting the red alarm level on the MemTurbo graph and checking the "Recover RAM automatically when alarm level is reached" option, MemTurbo will kick in whenever that level of low RAM is reached. |
![]() |
On a
Timer * MemTurbo can be set (via the Options page) to degfrag and recover every N minutes. Simply check the "Recover RAM automatically every N minutes", set the duration, and forget it. No * Note that MemTurbo must be running in order for it to react. When MemTurbo is minimized, it hides to a small tray icon, so you can leave it running at all times. |
Regardless of which method is used to trigger MemTurbo into action, the result is the same: MemTurbo will defragment your RAM, recover as much RAM as possible (up to the level you have set), attempt to recover memory leaks, and flush unused DLLs out to your pagefile.
If you opt for "On Demand" recovery, the best
times to trigger MemTurbo are after Windows login/startup and before launching a new app.
For example, before launching a memory-intensive game or application, press the
MemTurbo hotkey and wait for it to complete. This will ensure the maximum amount of
memory possible is available, reducing time-consuming paging.
