I've used these things in the past to free up some ram... And they work... But I've ran across the best memory defragger and thought I'd pass it on.


Mystring=space(1000000000)
Mystring2=space(1000000000)


That's it. Put it in a text file titled defragmemory.vbe and double click it. If you have 2 gig of ram I'd delete one of the lines... I have 4 gig and it works GREAT. After running 345234523 different programs I'll go take a look at my memory to see that 2.5 gig is in use. I run that script and it pegs memory and I'm sure it's tossing overflow into the pagefile, but when it finishes (after about 10-15 seconds) it shows 900 meg in use.

Now I know as well as any other nerd that the memory is still there... and if I run ANYTHING that wants to use the memory it's going to reallocate it and such. I know that there's no speed difference in doing this... But when I look at my memory usage I like to know what's being used and what's not. And as evidenced by the snake oil salesmen that peddle shareware memory defraggers and make a living doing so, there must be other people that want this as well.

So that's it above... Snake oil... But it's free snake oil.
