Posted: February 11, 2001 Written by: Dustin "TimmyC" Jones Free Up Some RAM! If you have just run an intensive or specifically large application or game, you know about that groggy feeling your system can have. That's usually because of the leftovers taking up your valuable memory. You can free it, however, by clicking your heels together 3 times and saying: "Let my memory go." Er, I mean, using a program to free that trapped memory. There are many good programs to do this at Tweakfiles. If you don't want to download a big fancy program, you can actually make one yourself very easily using Visual Basic runtimes (you don't even need VB to do this). Here's what you do: Open up Notepad (Start, Run, "notepad" (OK)). Depending on how much memory you have, put the appropriate values in... Under 128mb Ram: Mystring = (16000000) 128mb or More: Mystring = (80000000) Save it as "Memory.vbe" (including the quotes!). Close as many programs as you can, then run (double click) this handy little script to free your memory whenever your computer is feeling sluggish. If you have trouble running it, you may need the Visual Basic Runtimes. You can get them here. Conclusion Whew, what a read, eh? With all those tweaks you should now feel like you have a brand new system. Ahh the wonders of tweaking.... Click here for a printer friendly version. |
