Fresh RAM 4.0.0 - User Guide and FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions - Fresh RAM

1. What is Computer RAM?
   Pronounced ramm, acronym for random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices, such as printers.
   
   In common usage, the term RAM is synonymous with main memory, the memory available to programs. For example, a computer with 512M RAM has approximately 512 million bytes of memory that programs can use. In contrast, ROM (readonly memory) refers to special memory used to store programs that boot the computer and perform diagnostics. Most personal computers have a small amount of ROM (a few thousand bytes). In fact, both types of memory (ROM and RAM) allow random access. To be precise, therefore, RAM should be referred to as read/write RAM and ROM as read-only RAM. Common types of RAM:
   • SRAM or Static RAM
   • NV-RAM or Non-Volatile RAM
   • DRAM or Dynamic RAM
     • Fast Page Mode DRAM
     • EDO RAM or Extended Data Out DRAM
     • XDR DRAM
     • SDRAM or Synchronous DRAM
   
   
   
2. Why Fresh RAM?
   Fresh RAM is a very powerful memory optimization solution. Your system may experience crashes, memory leaks, and slow applications that run out of resources. While using your computer, currently executed applications need a slice of your memory in order operate properly, thus this will slow down your equipment.
   
   Fresh RAM will help you a free up unused RAM, prevent crashes, increase performance, reduce memory leaks and gets the most out of your system without the need of other hardware.
   
   All you have to do is selected the power of the optimization engine and click on the Perform RAM Optimization, and the optimization engine will automatically collect memory according to the power of the optimization engine specified, and then return it to your system as Free RAM. The Process generally takes a about few minutes to complete and it is recommended that you do not use any other applications to achieve the best possible results
   
   Apart from that every application needs memory to execute, thus we have eliminated the option that Fresh RAM runs in the system tray while the user is performing other tasks. This operation leads to more free memory and better performance.
