RAMBoss

Version: 1.3.0
Release date: 09/24/2002

License: Freeware
OS: Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2K/XP
Install support: No
Download size: 58 kB
Description:
RAMBoss is a small, yet effective utility for freeing up system RAM on Windows 95/98 systems. Also should work on other systems such as Win 2000 or XP, but you'll get most out of it on 95/98.
Why use RAMBoss?
The way that Windows treats memory (at least in 95/98 systems) is not very good, and sooner or later the system will most probably crash. You can use RAMBoss to keep your system up and running for lot's of longer times than without.
RAMBoss is not fullfilled with any extra-features like graphics showing CPU-usage / RAM-usage, it just does what it has to do. Compared to RamBooster, which has very low CPU-usage, RAMBoss has 50% lower usage, and _a lot_ lower system resources usage!
RAMBoss was written totally in Win32 Assembly, making it possible to create small, fast, and very useful application for the whole Windows product family.
