Ram Boost Features & Guide

This is the main Memory panel that Ram Boost opens with. The green graph shows your current level of free memory.

The Blue line in the graph is the Target line, which means this is the level of RAM that would allow optimal system performance. You can set the Target level in the Settings panel (see below). By default Ram Boost determines an optimal target for your PC.

The Red line in the graph is the Trigger line, which means that if your free memory drops below this line, Ram Boost's RAMFlow will engage and free up as much RAM as possible, based on your Target. By default Ram Boost determines a Trigger, but you can set it to a custom value in the Settings panel (see below).

Free physical memory (RAM) is shown at the top and in the title bar, and the amount of Memory Saved each optimization is shown on the bottom-left. If you want to engage RAMFlow manually and optimize your RAM, click on Optimize Now.

This is the Processes panel which shows all running applications on your PC, whether they are in the background or foreground. It shows how much RAM each program is using, and the path to the exe file for each one (the program file). To refresh this list, click Refresh at the bottom-left.

If you right-click an item on this list (as shown) you can set the CPU priority. This is NOT recommended unless you are an advanced user. You can also select End Process from this menu, which exits the selected program. Alternately you can End Process by selecting a program from the list and clicking on the button on the bottom-right. It is NOT recommended to choose End Process unless you are an advanced user or are confident that what you are closing is not a required resource.

This is the Settings panel, where you can set custom Target and Trigger levels for your RAM. You can also set the time scale for the Memory graph, the delay between optimizations, and the speed that the free memory level and the Processes list refresh at.

At the bottom-right you can choose to have Ram Boost run automatically with Windows and/or free memory on startup. Also, you can choose to have Ram Boost run on top of all other open windows.

If you choose to close Ram Boost, notice that it continues to run in the System Tray:

This icon shows your free RAM, and the blue Target and red Trigger lines. To restore Ram Boost's main window, right-click the System Tray Icon and choose Show. You can also choose to Optimize Now from this menu. To exit Ram Boost completely, right-click on the System Tray Icon and choose Exit.
