Default Memory Leaks

James, there's freeware that just about does the same thing. Go here and
scroll toward the bottom for
Free Ram XP Pro. Note: NONE of these programs including MemTurbo do
not free up System
Resources.

Hi

My client's computer has recently been receiving an ad for what's called

"Memo Turbo Deluxe".

Supposedly it helps against "Memory Leaks" etc.

Not being extremely Computer savvy, I'm just not sure how much this

software is really needed.

Are Memory Leaks a scam, or is this software a scam?

Any imput would be appreciated.

James

Mem Turbo Deluxe and all other programs of similar ilk including Free
Ram XP Pro are pure unadulterated crapware that are totally incapable
of performing any beneficial function for any computer running Windows
XP under any circumstances.

See http://www.radsoft.net/resources/sof...reviews/redux/ for an in
depth discussion of these so called memory freeing programs.

Good luck

Default Memory Leaks

A 'memory leak' refers to memory reserved by an application that is not
released when the application closes. They are caused by sloppy programmers,
not Windows XP. If you have an application with a memory leak, you'll have
to discuss it with the people who wrote the program.

Are memory leaks a real issue? And if so, is there anything that can be

done about it/for it.

My pleasure. Actually, application programmers are getting more and more
careful about this, since so many of us have complained.
