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. -- Nos

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. dave henrie Joel Willstein wrote:

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. -- Nos
