    Memory low problem --- are all RAM cleaners really 'snake oil'?


    In my experience, even if you "clean" memory up it gets just as filled up in minutes if not seconds. Modern OSs tend to keep in memory as much as possible because that speeds things up as opposed to have to read and write to disk all the time. Even SSDs are much, much slower than RAM.
    The only "medicine" is to have enough (free) RAM as possible and that means either adding more RAM or cutting down number of SW that uses it.
    Here's a nice program for following what and how much uses RAM with a defragmenter for it.
