Creating effective settings

Free Mem Button MB selector: Set here how much MB the Free Mem button tries to free.

"Fast Buffer" size selector: select the size of the "Fast Buffer" here. (More about this below)

"Fast Buffer" sensitivity selector: Select the sensitivity for the "Fast Buffer" (More about this below)

"Fast Buffer" drain selector: Selects the drain. Drain is a fall-back of used memory in the "Fast Buffer" (More about this below)

"Fast Buffer" Processor usage selector: Select a processor usage, if processor usage is above this value the "Fast Buffer" will not be optimized.

Automatic settings on/off: The program will use AIAS (A)rtificial (I)ntelligent (A)uto (S)ettings, calculating all "Fast Buffer" settings dynamically.

"Fast Buffer" on/off: Disables/Enables the "Fast Buffer" 

To create effective setting you must understand the philosophy of our program. The general idea is to free memory for programs, if RAM is free the programs don't have to SWAP.  SWAP is disk based and RAM is chip based memory. Chips are a lot faster then disks, but to free up RAM we have to move the RAM memory to the SWAP file this will cost speed and processor usage. 

Our program can check on processor usage and find a moment your computer is not so busy anyway. This way you won't notice it when the RAM is moved to the SWAP and you just have the benefits of fast free RAM for your programs, now when the programs load they can directly load into RAM saving you the SWAP time! And not only on loading but also during the execution of a game or program there are moments your processor has some spare time, this time is now utilized to free up RAM. This free RAM will be used in times of need!

Unfortunate some programs always use 100% of you processor and you can therefore not check to see if your computer is very busy or not,  we found a way to check for it in a different way DRAIN is the solution. 

If your used memory in the "Fast Buffer" falls back an amount that you can select. The "Fast Buffer" will be freed. If your memory falls back it is very likely your computer has not much to do, even if your processor usage indicates 100%. The time in witch the DRAIN must occur can be seen easy. Enable the "Fast Buffer" indicator, the led starts flashing, the time in witch the led is off is the time in witch the DRAIN must occur, the time when the led is on is the time when the check for DRAIN and/or processor usage is done.

You can also check on processor usage and DRAIN. If you select both, the DRAIN will only cause to free the "Fast Buffer" if the processor usage is within bounds to and vice versa.

You can also disable both DRAIN and processor usage. If you do this our program will work like other RAM managers, and free the buffer when it is in use. (At the moment your sensitivity indicator led is on. the indicator must be enabled to see this)

Creating effective setting using the Analyzer

To create effective settings you need to use the analyzer to see what a program does, the best way to do that is using a snapshot and make sure the game or program is in full use while the snapshot is made. It is wise to hide the analyzer wile making the snapshot.

1. If the analyzed game or program had a varying processor usage you can set the "Fast Buffer" Processor usage selector to a value somewhere between the highest and lowest processor usage the program had. There will be no need to check on drain. You could check on drain also but it's up to you. (More on drain in step 2)

2. If the analyzed game or program had a processor usage of 100% all the time there is no point in checking on processor usage, since the "Fast Buffer" would never be optimized then. So disable the "Fast Buffer" Processor usage selector by moving the slider all the way to the right. Select a DRAIN value on witch you like to free the "Fast Buffer"

3. Use sensitivity to alter the reaction time for the buffer, for Heavy 3D games set the reaction time low, and for using multiple windows and not so demanding programs set the reaction time high.

4. Some tweaking and experimenting with our program in this way will lead to good results and the experience you gain using our program will make it very easy to find correct settings.

Some extra hints

1. Experiment with settings and see what they can do for your programs.

2. Analyze the settings while in use!

3. To try setting fast just modify some settings, reset the optimize counter, see how many times your memory speed is optimized. (you will get a feel for this if you use our program some time)

4. Once you master this program  you can speedup some games by 20% if not more! (Great if you computer is just a bit to slow for a game or short of RAM)
