Have you ever had the curiosity to notice how much amount of RAM is your system using when you are working on it? There may also be situations where your system has become slow and unresponsive to a certain number of tasks. This is all because, your RAM may be occupied by some of the unwanted processes running on your system. With the FreeRam XP Pro, you can free a specific amount of your RAM space either manually or automatically by a single mouse click.

Using the FreeRam XP Pro, you can either go for an automatic optimization of your system or a manual optimization. When you go for an automatic optimization, you need not specify the amount of RAM you want the FreeRam XP Pro to get it free for you. And the optimization happens automatically and the amount of RAM freed is dependent on your system status. If you go for a Manual optimization, then you need to specify the amount of RAM that you want to get it free. Remember that, if the amount of RAM that you want to get it free is more than the capacity of your RAM, then it makes your system slow and unresponsive.

The following section describes a step-by-step instruction of how to install and use the FreeRam XP Pro software to free-up your RAM.

If you haven’t done though, download FreeRam XP Pro software from the following link

Download FreeRam XP Pro

1) After downloading the software, click on the FreeRamsetup.exe file to start the installation process.

2) Follow the on-screen instructions of the FreeRam XP Pro Setup wizard and complete the installation successfully.

3) Once the installation is completed, you should see the FreeRam XP Pro window displayed on your screens. If it is not displayed, you can launch the program by clicking on its icon in the Start Menu folder. In case, If you do not find the icon in the Start Menu, then the FreeRam might already be opened and will be in your System tray.

4) Once you launch the program, the FreeRam main window that is shown below should be displayed on your screens.

5) In the FreeRam window, if you wish to do an automatic optimization (i.e., automatic freeing-up of your RAM), then select the radio button that says AutoFree: Automatically optimizes to balance speed and memory and then click on the Go button.

6) If you wish to manually free-up the space on your RAM, then select the radio button that says Try to free—— MB of RAM and then specify the amount of RAM that you wish to free-up and once done click on the Go button.

NOTE: – if you wish to see a detailed report after the above two tasks, then ensure that you have selected the checkbox that says Display a freeing results report when done with memory operations.

7) In both the cases, after you click on the Go button, you can observe that the amount of RAM freed-up has increased. See the snapshot below and compare with the above two snapshots.

8. If you have selected the checkbox that we mentioned in the NOTE above, then you should see a detailed report of the memory freeing operation. The report displays the amount of RAM that was free before the operation and the amount gained after the operation.

Overall, the FreeRam XP Pro does its job well and can be used as a stand alone freeware to optimize your system’s speed and memory cache.

Scan your Network using SoftPerfect Network Scanner

Network scanning is an exercise for identifying active hosts on a network, either for analyzing purpose or security assessment, you may need some tools to help you on performing such exercises. There are lots of network scanning tools out there, some of them are free, some of them are chargeable and some of them are hardware appliance. I will not talk about hardware appliance as that is too expensive for us to use, and it is not practical for a single user usage, unless you are a hacker or trying to setting up a marvelous network environment in your own territory and willing to spend a lot on all these devices.

After perform network scanning, it is always good to have additional features provided by the tool itself, such as services monitoring, wake on LAN, remote shutdown and etc. Definitely, it will be good if the tool is free of charge.

I would like to introduce one network scanning tool named SoftPerfect Network Scanner. This tool not only provide network scanning capability, also it allow you to perform wake on LAN, monitor services, monitor registry, monitor WMI, and also some other fancy features that you can use to troubleshoot network issues, such as Telnet, SMTP, etc.


Sometimes if you would like to verify the same services on 10 servers, the primitive way is to remote desktop to each of the single server and verify one by one, alternately, you can still use command line to achieve that or you can still write a script to do that for you. But if it is an ad-hoc request to check multiple services on multiple servers, it will be a trouble for us. But with SoftPerfect Network Scanner, you are able to define multiple services, to query on multiple servers just in few minutes. Furthermore, you can easily define customize services that are not belong to Windows services.


In addition, this tool also allows you to remote wake up a machine, all you need to do is key in the target machine MAC address, and then issue a wake up instruction. One of the disadvantage for this tool, is this tool do not provide the capability of keeping search records in database form. Anyway, I personally think this tool provides more than what I expect, as a lightweight network scanner tool and some more it is FREE to download.


For those who are interested, you can try this by go to the below link.
