Use ClearMem To Freeup Windows XP Memory


Although most modern computers have enough memory to run Windows XP properly, the longer you leave PC running without a reboot the more chance there is that old processes and programs you’ve been using are still ‘holding onto’ memory, making less available to other programs.

An easy way to fix this is to install ClearMem. THis great tool is made by Microsoft and what it does is automatically free up memory by reducing the size of running processes.

To run this tool, your paging file must be at least as big as physical memory. To see if your PC is setup correctly do the following:

  1. Go into your control panel and click on ‘System’
  2. Click the ‘Advanced’ and under the ‘Performance’ section click on ‘Settings’
  3. Then click on the ‘Advanced’ Tab again
  4. At the bottom there is a ‘Virtual Memory’ section and a value
  5. Make sure that this value is at least as big as the amount of memory on your system. If it’s not then click on ‘Change’ and make the number bigger
  6. Then click on ‘Set’ and follow the prompts to reboot your machine
