MemBoost is a program which free's up system RAM. The benefit of this is felt most on systems which have 64Mb or less of Memory.
The advantage or freeing system RAM from a third party program instead of relying on Windows to do it for you is that Windows free's up only 200Kb of RAM each time it falls short.
This means that if you have to load a 2Mb program and have 100Kb of RAM left then to accomodate the new program Windows will only free 100 Kb at a time making it very slow as the process has to be repeated over and over again.
However with MemBoost you can set an alarm level and the amount of RAM to free at the alarm level. This means that if you say that you want to start freeing Ram once the level goes below 3Mb and you want to free 5Mb at that point then the program will write all the un-necessary data in the RAM to the Swap file and free up 5 Mb in one process.
This is faster as there is only one process and you will have enough RAM to work with once it is optimized.
