MemTurbo 4 - Introduction |
Why do you need MemTurbo?
MemTurbo is a highly acclaimed and powerful application that can optimize memory and manage the system’s cache. Applications can now use memory without forcing Windows to go to the hard drive. This leads to an increase in system’s application performance, lowering the computer's response time. Why spend thousands of dollars on a new PC when MemTurbo has the ability to make better use of your computer’s memory resources? Memory upgrades may become unnecessary when you can optimize the performance of physical memory you already have!
What does RAM mean?
RAM (Random Access Memory) can be thought of as a temporary storage area for your computer. Each time you start a program or open a file, the computer stores information related to them in RAM. It's important to realize that RAM is finite, which means that the more applications or files you open, less RAM will be available.
Will RAM ever run out?
YES. When this happens, the computer has to start using the hard drive to compensate for the lack of RAM. Since the hard disk is much slower than the RAM, this can cause your computer's application performance to slow down. MemTurbo can help in these situations, when applications are no longer active. MemTurbo can reclaim lost resources and put them to better use. By reclaiming lost resources, the computer doesn’t need to use the hard drive as often. This helps to enhance your computer’s application performance!
What is cache and how does it work?
Windows memory management system uses cache to increase file accessing speed. The cache is a very fast portion of memory that temporarily stores data to improve the computer's performance. By using this fast portion of memory, the computer can run faster, since most programs access the same data or instructions repeatedly. For example, when a file is read from a disk, it is stored in the system’s cache. If there is another request to read the same file, Windows will retrieve the file from the system’s cache again, it will send a second request to the hard disk. This is a much slower process. Please note that file caching can behave erratically after a period of time. Memory resources available to run applications will reduce and eventually bloat cache memory. This may adversely affect the performance of your system, by slowing down your machine and running applications.
How can MemTurbo help take control over resource management?
Generally, users don't have control over Windows behavior, nor can they adjust the cache to meet their requirement needs. In this situation, the system's performance may degrade, which will force the user to restart their computer. MemTurbo solves this problem by taking control over the resource management of file caching and applications. The running applications can now allocate memory without forcing Windows to swap. This leads to an increase in computer application performance and decreases response times. By using MemTurbo, you’ll have the ability to optimize your system’s file cache, by using its dormant resources in an efficient manner.
