Yup, one of those programs. Read this article for more information about how these programs "work": <http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=41095&pg=1> > | It optimizes your RAM and makes sure, that you can use as much RAM as > | possible for your daily work.

Usability of this is questionable - when you save something, Windows will usually dump it to disk as soon as this won't cause considerable slowdown in applications. If you'd rather have stuff written to disk immediately, you can turn off caching entirely in the System properties. > | It repairs the memory leaks and avoids crashes, Blue Screens and > unnecessary > | slow downs. Bull###t. The only thing that can cause BSOD on NT kernel are bad drivers - and when that's the case, the only way to avoid it is to replace the driver. Memleaks cannot be repaired except by fixing them in the program that's leaking. Windows memory manager will automatically swap out the leaked memory anyway, and unless the program is leaking a lot (or running for a very long time), this won't affect the system (even then, there's nothing a 3rd party program could do). > | It comes with CPU Cooler to save power.

All NT-based Windows execute the HLT instruction in the idle loop, so the only way to cool down the CPU further is to call HLT from a higher-priority thread - slowing down the whole system. > | It increases the uptime of windows systems from few hours to weeks.

I've seen NT4, 2000 and 2003 servers with months of uptime, and the only thing that prevented them going for years are Microsoft's constant updates that require restart. I've also had Win98SE running for 27 days, though at the end, GDI resources were totally consumed, and Windows stopped updating the display. > | This program has very small footprint in the memory and does not consume > any > | precious resources.

There's a ton of task managers out there, even a fairly good one in Windows itself (and guess what, it lets you set the process priorities). I'm cross-posting this to TBOT, further replies should go there. -- < Jernej Simoncic ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > [The Bat! v3.61.06 Echo (Beta) on Windows 2003 5.2.3790.Service Pack 1] Under any system, a few sharpies will beat the rest of us. -- Goodfader's Law ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.07 (Echo) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
