MemStat XP

MemStat XP is a lightweight Windows application developed to offer a great mix of physical memory information and fast optimization tools.
Memory usage can be easily monitored via the floating window displayed just after launch, but many more tools are available in the configuration screen.
While the floating window we were talking about can be further customized with various colors and content, MemStat XP can also free up memory and thus boost the overall system performance.
What's more, automatic optimization tools are available too, and so is a manual mode that can be easily performed with a press of a user-defined keyboard shortcut.
Logging however is one of the most important tools included in the package. There are several configurable parameters, such as refresh interval, log filename, append mode and direct writing.
As it's the case of many other memory optimization apps, MemStat XP can be launched at Windows startup and perform an optimization automatically. In order to get the best possible results, users can also change the process priority and define a memory freeing time limit from the “Advanced” tab of the configuration screen.
Although the name of the program may lead you into believing that this is a tool aimed at Windows XP users, it's not, and MemStat XP works smoothly on all Windows versions.
Simply put, this is the kind of application that can be installed by any user category on any Windows workstation. It doesn't slow down the system at all, but instead it comes with a great feature package to boost performance.
