How To: Improve RAM Efficiency using SuperRAM

If you have plenty of RAM and
sometimes notice that your
computer is not running the way it
should be - e.g. there is a delay
when switching between
applications, or applications take a
long time to launch, then this
could be a result of poor memory
management within Windows.
SuperRAM is a memory optimiser
that manages your RAM much more
efficiently than Windows, allowing
you to get more bang for your
buck. Typically, users tend to
purchase more RAM when things
get slow, but this isn't always
necessary - using the available RAM
more efficiently is a more cost
effective solution to poor
performance.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Access the related download
link for this article and grab the
SuperRAM 6 installer file. Once
this finishes downloading,
double-click it to start the
installation process and follow
the normal procedure for
Windows installation.
Launch SuperRAM using the
desktop shortcut.
The SuperRAM interface
appears, with a 3D pie chart
shown within the right hand
side of the main panel. This
represents the free and used
RAM on your system - the blue
section being the free RAM and
the red being the RAM used up
by other applications and
Windows. Right click the
SuperRAM entry on the taskbar
and choose Free Memory Now.
Almost instantly, the pie chart
changes to show that more RAM
has been freed up - e.g. there is
now more blue to the chart
than previously.
To view more detailed
information about your system
RAM, click the Run Memory
Benchmark Test. An intensive
memory scan is performed and
a results screen shown shortly
afterwards. This can be useful
for identifying potential issues
such as memory bottlenecks.
Tips & Advice
Click the Settings option to
configure the SuperRAM 6
preferences.
In the Settings menu, you can
alter the balance between
memory to maintain and
memory to free, using the two
sliders. When the available
memory drops below the value
of the first slider, SuperRAM
will free up the amount of
memory specified on the
second slider.
Remember to update SuperRAM
6 periodically to ensure you are
running the most stable
version. Select the Upgrade
option when the application
first loads to initiate the auto-
update tool.
