BarTab Firefox Add-on

If you're worried about opening too many tabs in Firefox because it might use up a lot of memory, you should try BarTab.

Locate32

If your computer's got a lot of memory & a fast processor you'll probably find Google Desktop a very usable search tool. However if you're using an older computer with limited resources you might find Locate32 to be a much better alternative.

RAMRush - Freeware

If you own a Laptop computer like me, you'll probably leave it in hibernation sometimes.

However you'll usually find that when you turn it back on, it may be a little slow because of all the memory that the running applications are using.

I've just started using RAMRush which will optimize the RAM usage of your computer. The first time I used it I was able to reclaim 64 MB.

Usage is quite simple, just hover your mouse over the RAMRush tray icon & click 'Start Optimize'.
