Ram defrag ?

    This is the 1st time that I've ever heard about a Ram defrag program.
I've had a PC for nearly five years, and I've never heard of it before.

Yes, the program he menitoned also defrags the ram. I use  a prog
called "Freemem standard" (and it is free, unlike Memtrubo), but it
doens't defrag the ram. According to the makers of Memturbo you're ram
becomes fragmented over time just like the swap file does, until you
next reboot of course.

  Well perhaps the term ram-defrag is a-bit misleading.  
But there are several programs that "arrange" your ram resources
to increase performance.  Cacheman is another program like Mem Turbo
that does this.

spoke:

Isn't Cacheman the prog that allows you to set the Vcache size etc.?
It's useless for Win98 and you are better to let Win98 handle those
settings. Defragging the ram is not the same thing. Read the help file
with Memturbo and it will explain it. I haven't used it for a long
time so can't remember the details.
