How to Run Memory Intensive Applications Smoothly on Your PC

Most people today, run multiple applications at the same time to speed up their work and time. But it becomes a head ache when many of such programs eat up the system memory and make the system slow. This really matters if you are running photoshop and other memory intensive applications on a PC at the same time with less amount of ram. Either the system gets extremely slow or hangs. When this happens our time and energy just gets wasted instead. Programs like Firefox, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere consumes and wastes a lot of memory / ram. If the wastage of ram by these applications can be controlled then the above mentioned system hangs and related problems can be solved to certain extend. So ,here is an application to optimize or reduce the memory usage and wastage of any application to a great extend.

Advantages of using Minimem to Reduce Memory Usage of Applications

Reducing the memory footprint of memory-heavy applications that should not e.g. web browsers or office applications

Running multiple applications on the same computer e.g. web desktop tool, web browser, office application all concurrently

Use computers that are not so recent with modern application
