What do you think of this?

Heh heh... I've been a cynic for a long time. I looked at 2 pages titled "How It Works" and I still don't know how it works. But then again, I'm kinda slow.

How much does this software cost? Me thinks, if you're running short of memory, the money might be better spent on more RAM.

Yup for the price they want I agree "more Ram"

I remember a bunch of products like this from the days when RAM was one of the most expensive components in a system. They never worked all that well.

Yesterday, at the shopping season specials, I picked up 128 Meg SDRAM which will be about $2 after rebates figuring that postage and tax cost me a few bucks. I also picked up 256 Meg SDRAM with a 75gig WD Hard drive for about $55 after rebates for the 2 together. Given that the hard drive alone would normally be over $100 easy, I figure the RAM is actually free. Most weeks, I can pick up 256 Meg SDRAM for $25 after rebates, so why bother with dubious software that tries to fake RAM.

Most of these programs simply move the data that is in RAM to virtual memory (page file,swap file). If you are still using the data that was moved it will be moved back to RAM as soon as it is needed again. This moving data around actually slows the system down.

There isn't any replacement for more RAM install as much as you can.
