If it’s full, there’s a good chance it can help speed up program loading times and anything else that would use your computer’s hard drive. Notice that very little RAM is actually “free” in the screenshot below.
The RAM is being used as a cache, but it’s still marked as available for any program that needs to use it.
WISE MEMORY OPTIMIZER VS FULL
In the past, full RAM did indicate a problem. If you were running Windows Vista on a computer with half a gig of RAM, you could feel the computer constantly slowing down - it had to constantly read and write to the hard drive, using the hard drive’s page file as an inefficient replacement for RAM. However, modern computers generally have enough RAM for most users. Even low-end computers generally ship with 4GB of RAM, which should be more than enough unless you’re doing intensive gaming, running multiple virtual machines, or editing videos.Įven if RAM was a problem for you, there’s no reason to use a memory optimizer. Memory optimizers are snake oil that are useless at best and harmful at worst. When you use a memory optimizer, you’ll see your computer’s RAM usage go down. Memory optimizers actually work in one of two ways: This may seem like an easy win - you’ve decreased RAM usage just be pressing a button, after all. They call the EmptyWorkingSet Windows API function, forcing running applications to write their working memory to the Windows page file.
