RAMBooster and Vista

Does RAMBooster work on Vista?

Great program, but too simplistic

Great program. But I prefer another free multifunctional program to RAMBooster, that is Advanced WindowsCare. I believe it can do far more than boosting RAM. It will manage startup items, fix invalid registry entries, scan and remove Spyware and Adware, as well as keep my computer running at Peak Performance. So far, Advanced WindowsCare Personal runs very, very well on my PC!

RamBooster works well for the ordinary individual user, but there is a significant drawback if you are working in an environment where some users are not Administrators: RamBooster tries to write to the file "rambooster.exe.ini" after every operation or setting change. Non-Administrators cannot write to .ini files, so the program locks up and you have to kill it with Task Manager.
