MKN FreeMEM1.2

MKN FreeMEM is an advanced software utility that can free up memory to allocate more system resources to other running applications. It does this using optimized parameters and features an automatic mode with customizable settings.

Simple setup with systray integration

Installing this tool is a fast and easy task that shouldn't give you any trouble, since there aren't special options or prerequisites involved. It gets integrated in the systray at startup, where it silently runs without interrupting your regular PC activity until it's needed.The main configuration panel has a clear-cut structure, split into three panes for configuring settings. You can view a graph with the current memory usage levels, both used and free, as well as click a button to trigger the optimization sequence.

Optimize RAM manually and automatically

This task doesn't take long, during which MKN FreeMEM gets minimized to the tray and shows a progress bar. When it comes to configuration settings, you can adjust the speed used by the tool to optimize main memory, while keeping in mind that it affects the overall resources, as well as enable automatic RAM optimization and adjust the level of threshold.Furthermore, you can add the tool to the Windows startup sequence to automatically run every time you turn on your computer to free up RAM, or activate a keyboard shortcut for accessing its options. There are no other notable aspects available here.

Evaluation and conclusion

It worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. We've noticed some monitor changes in RAM usage after running MKN FreeMEM, but nothing of significance. We must also take into account that it hasn't received updates for a long time. Otherwise, you can test the app for yourself, since it's freeware.
