Pointstone MemOptimizer 3.50

There are numerous applications out there that promise to make your computer run faster and smoother. Out of the myriad of such applications you can find on the web, I would like to focus on one in particular today. I would like to put the spotlight on the Pointstone Software-developed application MemOptimizer.

This is an application that aims to make your computer faster and more stable. It does this by monitoring your system in the background and by optimizing your computer’s memory. To better put things in perspective, here is what you can expect to get from MemOptimizer, from a functionality point of view:

- The application runs in the background and whenever the situation calls for it, it frees much needed resources. What does that mean? It means your applications will run faster and be more stable.
- Addresses memory leaks and automatically recovers memory locked by closed programs.
- Presents you with a visual representation of how much memory you have.

Before you go get MemOptimizer and put it to the test, there are a few technical details you need to know about. The following details:

Download – the download weighs in at 1.3MB, which is quite lightweight. At such a lightweight download size, it will only take a moment to get the application off the web and onto your computer.
Supported OS – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, MemOptimizer provides support for Windows 2003, 2008, Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
Limitations – you can use MemOptimizer free of charge for a trial period of 15 days. Once that trial period is over, you will have to get a license to keep using the application.

MemOptimizer is a powerful and easy to use application that will help you get your computer to run faster; it will also prevent Windows crashes. It does this by monitoring and optimizing your system’s memory usage.

The downside is that MemOptimizer costs money. There are other applications out there that do a similar job but are offered free of charge.

Pros

• Lightweight download

• Recovers memory leaks and reclaims memory from the operating system and applications
• Flushing of unused libraries and DLLs

Cons

• Free to try (15-day trial)
• Nag screen
