iFreeMem: Free your Memory from Inactivity

I own two laptops. An iBook G3 and an iBook G4. They are as sluggish as can be with very little RAM at all. Sadly my low RAM count puts limitations on me using my computer. After creating something in Photoshop Elements 3.0, my computer begins to slow down to a crawl. Before finding iFreeMem, I would restart my computer after using Photoshop Elements 3.0 to regain speed. This was a major hassle and I could not stand my iBooks any longer. Then iFreeMem made its way to my downloads folder and I instantly loved it.

What it basically does is take the inactive RAM that your computer is not using and turn it into free RAM. When application use inactive RAM, the program sluggishly does what you want, but when using free RAM, your computer acts as if it was opened up right after rebooting your computer, fast and reliable.

Aside from the obvious iFreeMem has another useful feature - the logger. It logs all the activity of your Free RAM, Inactive RAM, Active RAM, and Wired RAM. you can check all of their activities and see what iFreeMem’s optimizer does for them.

Another way of seeing what iFreeMem’s RAM Optimizer does for your computer, is to use the Memory Allocation Benchmark feature. First run the test before optimizing your RAM. After some inactivity, iFreeMem’ benchmarker will give you a time. Then optimize your computer’s RAM with iFreeMem and run the test again. By doing this test both times, you can see how much this wonderful application really helps your memory states.

I definitely give this application a 10/10 for doing a good job of what it does. The tool is honestly worth $8, so pick up your copy today at Activata.
