    Q. Does my processor wear out when using Hare? [Back]

    No, Hare doesn't use your processor more than usual - it just uses it smarter.

    Phew!

    My favourite part was this screenshot of their "memory manager" window:

    "Mem Doubler can fix memory leaks, defragment your RAM, and wash it to get a 'just-booted' feeling without having to restart"

    They should be including fabric conditioner to give the RAM chips that "fresh laundry smell" after washing them!

    Wow. Just, wow...

    "Mem Doubler can guess if your RAM needs to be defragmented or not."

    So basically 50% of the time it gets it wrong, and the other 50% it does nothing? That's awesome.

    LOL!
    Talking about the screenshot.. check out the task manager...
    What does a programmer need with Final Draft? I smell a pirated software!
    And PhotoShop.... you don't make crappy icons like these with PhotoShop. I can do a better job with Microosft Paint...Oh and Adobe InDesign as well. :nono:

    Oooh and let's not forgot.. Netscape... really? Netscape? It's not a pirated software, but who uses that! Even Back then it was obsolete.

    Not that a 'RAM defragmenter' would help, but RAM can become fragmented, and it is a problem. The basic idea is that if you're constantly allocating and freeing memory, you can't assign a large block to the space left after freeing a small block of memory, so the amount of useful memory available decreases even if you're freeing as much memory as you allocate. More info here.

    RAM is never fragmented. If there is no more room in the RAM to fit a program in 1 block. You know what happens? Context switch! That means clear the RAM, and load the page file to the RAM. Block that a process takes in a memory is NEVER split at any point.

    All these memory defragmentation tools, force execute context switch. That is all they do. It provides 0 performance benefits. It's been proven countless times that these programs claims are a myth based on miss information, in thinking that RAM actually do get fragmented, and defragmenting it provide more performance.

    Yes memory does get fragmented in the sense that you have a "reverse fragmentation" if you will where you have plenty of free small blocks, and not everything is "stacked" nicely and moved when needed. But this does not result in performance degradation as "normal fragmentation" that affects HDD, when program, files, well data, is split in 2 or more parts.

    256MB of RAM? That was HUGE in 2000-2001. That was like something you found in a gaming PC :)

    Looks legit to me, when I get my new pentium 4 processor and 256MB of ram I'm gonna give this a try. Beats splashing out on a sandy bridge setup
