(Win-Ram-Booster has nothing to do with my
original RamBooster. The author chose the same name
by accident, and continued to use it, because I had
nothing against it)
This
comparison is supposed to be neutral and always remember that
my program might seem to be the best BUT this is only 1 chart
and not the whole truth.
These things are difficult but remember this:
"Most
people think, that you can tell the RAM usage of a program just by
the size of it's executable. THAT's ABSOLUTELY WRONG !!! See XXXTurbo:
The exe file
is only 512 KB big, but all in all it uses nearly 10 MB
(that's incredible, isn't it?)
This program does waste more RAM than it gives you back..."
(An e-mail from a person who used to use XXXTurbo)
That
chart is mainly made to help you to compare the features
of this kind of programs in case you decide to buy one.
You should
also remember that RamBooster is freeware and
I may decide to stop updating it anytime, and after that there is
no
support anymore. If you buy a good commercial program from
a company that has other products also, not only 1 memory optimizer,
you can be 100% sure you are not left alone if you have problems.
Noticeable
is that Win-RamBooster has been updated very often, and Also the
developers of XXXTurbo try hard BUT I just made some
tests with their new version and I am sorry to say that
even if it uses less memory than it used to, it still
uses much memory, even if sitting in the tray, and when
visible, uses the CPU heavily. Their problem is the
"Tabbed Notebook" structure of the program. The
"tabbed notebook" eats a lot of memory if you
don't exactly know how to avoid that. There is a cure for
this, and I hope they fix this, because actually XXXTurbo
is "The Mother" of all this kind of programs. Another
problem of XXXTurbo is the heavy graphics used. This eats
a lots of system resources (gdi and user) and causes cpu-readings
to go wild. The resource usage is 4% and this is TOO much.
If you are into nice looking interfaces etc. this one is
your choice. The program looks really nice. My
suggestion : Less graphics and fix for the Tabbed
Notebook-problem makes this program Rock'n Roll. XXXMemPro
has the very same problem with resources than XXXTurbo.
the program gets better and better all the time.
Unfortunately this means that it also eats more
resources than it used to.
to XXXMemPro for awhile. So my guess is that if you want good
commercial product support and updates, buy Win-RamBooster.
If you want a good looking program, your choice would be XXXTurbo
The program
used to monitor these values is TaskInfo 98 by Igor Arsenin
and you can find it HERE
(TaskInfo 2000 available)
Worth downloading, it is an excellent program.
Also other programs were used to monitor the values.
