================================================================================
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.

2. 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.

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!
