I only utilize about 33% of available disk at any given time and I do this as it increases disk performance with the less data that has to be located you should always remain about 50% free of available hard drive space you’ll notice the performance boost when doing this.

I like to keep around 50% of my hard drives free as well. It’s pretty crazy though how much capacity you can get for your dollar now. I’ve seen 1.5TB drives for $150!

You can use the free version here:

Easy to use, more features, works with Vista UAC. Highly, highly enjoyable program and it’s totally free!

In Vista it might even get rid of the preloaded data to improve load times of often used programs, which means that your programs will load slower. Really, if programs need more than you have available, your OS will automatically put the least used data in a slower cache environment and remove unnecessary data from RAM memory.

You seem to have a 32-bit system since less than 4GB of RAM is recognized. You can use the full 4GB if you switch to a 64-bit OS.

I don’t see how folks can fill a decent sized hard drive unless your not archiving to optical disk like I always do. That Clean Memory tool does a great job at keeping the memory usage in check.

I have 4 GBs of Ram but the BIOS only see like 3200 GBs of it. That’s with the Older BIOS running on my system the new BIOS see less. I think you’ll see a noticeable improvement in system performance with that app (Clean Memory) if you’ll try it out.

That article is dated 2004 so it may have been valid at the time it went to press but things have changed somewhat since then. I love Team Viewer Ryan it is “the best freebie” for Remote administration. I’ll just stick with my free ware Mem manager tool.(I usually have plenty of leftover RAM and Virtual Memory)

It’s cool for a dual boot system it gave Windows7 more space to play in, ha ha ha. I’m really enjoying Windows7….bye folks. (Even with the several minor flaws in it. Still they did a great job overall).

Also I know this topic is for Firefox but I have been meaning too ask you why you haven’t reviewed “Team Viewer” a remote desktop utility. That sucker runs around the Vista UAC and Firewall like it isn’t even there….. I love it, freeware for personal use. Makes Crossloop look like a sad Joke. They just released a Beta Version.

I actually hadn’t seen that app before, but I will definitely have to check it out. I thought Crossloop was pretty nice and simple, and so I can’t wait to see if Team Viewer is as good as you say it is.

It’s good in my experience too. I’ve tried both and I love Team Viewer for its simplicity. Have been helping several clueless family members and it was quite easy for them too Looking forward to your review

As Change pointed out those optimizers aren’t necessarily that great. Windows should be able to utilize your RAM efficiently without needing something like this. The extension is useful because it actually frees up your memory by completely unloading the page, and isn’t just pushed to your hard drive.

It’s the Bomb…enough said.

I was going to try this, but a Lifehacker commenter pointed out that the extra tabs are just bookmarks in disguise (which is why you lose form data, etc.).

Yes, that is pretty much all they are. But at least it can free up some memory by doing this.

I know plenty of people with older computers who this would benefit. My parents, for example, still use a computer running XP and 256MB of memory.

Your sessions should also restore faster since these pages don’t have to be reloaded.

When I’m going through feeds I’ll often open all the articles I want to read in new tabs… which can often amount to over 50 tabs open.
