Have you ever noticed how you pc tends to slow down near the end of the day? Well there is a way you can put it back in its fresh start state without a restart!
First up, why do you need a booster?
Well, it’s not so much a question of why because we all want a faster PC.
This is more a question of WHEN.
If you’ve been running a large application (or several large applications, maybe a game, Photoshop, something like that) the RAM can get taken up quickly. Even when you close down these programs, RAM can still be eaten-up.
You’ll notice this effect at the end of the day. When you first power-up your PC it’s running smoothly, by the end of the day it’s as sluggish as teenager who’s just eaten a whole pizza. Now, you can get various applications to solve this. Some cost a little, some cost a lot. But personally, we like it free. Especially when that free is really quick and easy.
So, here’s what you need to do. It works for both Vista and XP.
Step One: Open up Notepad (it’s in Accessories)
Step Two: Type in MYSTRING=(80000000)
Step Three: Save the file as MEMORY.VBE (or RAM.VBE if you like…just remember the .VBE)
Step Four: Make sure you save the file to your DESKTOP.
Step Five: Just double-click the newly created file on your desktop whenever your PC seems sluggish. It will give your RAM a much needed boost.
If you have less than 128mb of RAM. Change the 80000000 to 160000000 and it should work the same.
That’s it. Quick, simple and a real time-saver. Leave us a line if this worked out for you

I don’t know but I tested it with one of my computers here at work, and it seemed to really do the trick.

This works by creating a variable that takes up a large amount of memory. This will cause memory-hogging applications to free up some that they don’t really need. This script closes immediately, but the other applications do not take *back* that memory they freed when you ran it. This leaves open some memory, but the applications that were open will then need to page to disk to get it.

This trick is awesome. I used it on a computer at my school, and it worked over 150% faster. Thanks HakLabs. You guys are awesome

Nice trick. They made a tool like this to rearrange the gates in static and dynamic RAM to prevent others from deciphering the last content entered in the RAM by wiping it with 7 passes, its a pretty nice tool if you use disk encryptions and your being hunted by the FBI lol.

Is there an upper limit to this? In other words, if I have more ram, should I use a different variable?

Just a heads up, any program that has allocated memory to itself after exiting is terribly programmed and you could consider that a memory leak.
I haven’t tested this with multiple programs running, but the theory seems sound.

Holy crap, after doing this, i tried opening Photoshop CS4 64 bit and it opened it in like 3 second as opposed to the usual 7-8 seconds.
