Windows does not manage its random access memory (RAM) and cache memory in the most efficient way. When Windows is installed, the RAM and cache memory are setup so that they will offer the greatest number of users a stable system that will run all the applications that might be installed on their systems.

You will see in this article how you can optimise your computers memory and receive a significant boost in speed and performance.
