I've read where a lot of people said that they could do better than slickrun, but have yet to see anyone actually back that claim up. If you can do better I really would like to see it, but in my opinion this is the best "launcher" program there is and has been for a while now. I think one of the reasons is the fact that it is so simple. btw there is an option to make it transparent within the configuration.

These programs (ram optimizers) are generally not good to use. As a matter of fact all they will do is degrade performance as all RAM optimizers do is force many other things out of memory. For people that do not iunderstand how windows manages memory this may seem benefitial, but it is not.

For example what if you were running Photoshop. The RAM optimzer will force all the code that was a apart of Photoshop out of memory and this will have to be paged from disk again.

You have to understand how Windows manages memory though. Windows will always try to find use for all of your RAM. If you have left over RAM code from programs that were closed will retain in memory for faster operation if you plan on using the application again during your session. Also if you ahve plenty of RAM available Windows will increase the file cache to help performance. So the fact of the matter is Windows will try to use all RAM available. If another use comes along old non-used code will be paged to disk to make room for w/e is needed. If you don't want to believe me here is an article on the subject. http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/41095/41095.html?Ad=1a
Let's try to keep this thread clean though. Please just post the programs that you would like to share.

Dude, you're RIGHT. I just found out, "FreeRam" was messing with my windows page file. A graphics extensive game I play, "Golden Tee Golf" keeps crashing when I run that little prick.

I don't know if I mentioned it yet, there's a TINY thing, about 58k in size that lets you move a slider and get the HEX codes for that color. For use in html and php. It's called, "RGBtoHEX".
Powerful for it's size.
