Opinion: Does Increasing the amount of available RAM improve performance?
.RAM Optimizers don't have any effect on performance, at worst, they can and do cause performance to degrade seriously. It seems like gaining more available RAM is beneficial, it's not. How RAM optimizers get you more available ram is by dumping important and often used processes out. Lets say that you are running a word processor, as an example. When the optimizer dumps the physical memory, the open document's text and the program code that was part of the word processor's working set(in RAM) before the dump. It must be read again from the relatively slow hard disk as you continue to type up your document.
