If your programs are running slow because of not enough RAM, you could try boosting your existing RAM without having to install hardware.
A free software program that I use on an older laptop (a 1995 that’s still running strong!) is called FreeRAM XP Pro. This freeware is highly recommended by the editors at CNet and Tucows. FreeRAM XP Pro’s AutoFree feature intelligently scales how much RAM is freed with your current system status, thus optimizing RAM without slowing down your computer. Here is a look at the interface on my older laptop. As you can see, I have it set to automatically free up and optimize the RAM.
Here are some of the features of FreeRAM XP Pro:
- Automatic memory monitoring and optimization;
- Advanced tray support;
- Fast, threaded freeing with a stop option;
- Memory reporting and diagnostic logging; and
- Real-time memory information.
FreeRAM XP Pro’s AutoFree feature intelligently scales how much RAM is freed with your current system status, thus optimizing RAM without slowing down your computer. Additionally, FreeRAM XP Pro’s unique Global Memory Compression technology frees memory instantly in a way that is completely unlike other memory managers.
FreeRAM Pro is very easy to use. When you right click on the icon in the system tray, you can access a number of useful features.
FreeRAM XP Pro is free, so try it out to see if it will speed up your computer. It works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista. You can get it virus-free at CNet’s downloads.

That sounds like a very useful software. Especially for me, who has the slowest laptop ever, with a very small RAM T_T. Thanks for sharing!
