Can anyone tell me what the effects of memory cleaner/booster programs are on BOINC applications? I leave my projects suspened in memory while not in use. These cleaners are supposed to free up RAM, but I am not sure if I will lose the crunching of apps. currently suspened. Is this something that needs to be investigated on a project by project basis? Or even a product by product basis? Also, I have heard debate on whether it is even wise to use these as things are left in RAM fir a reason and cleaning/removing said "things" can actually be harmful or counterproductive. Any thoughs or recommendations? Seems to cause FreeHal work units to fail for one, so I have stopped running cleaners. Due, however to the miniscule RAM on my boxes, I need all the free RAM I can get. (768mb)
