As an old person, I recall a time period when there were lots of so-called RAM optimization software packages out there. It would be interesting to see if that sort of thing makes a comeback.
Yes, the operating system is far better at managing resources than back then, but I'd bet that lots of fun new malware will sprout up masked as such.
You mean RAMdoubler? That was a scam.
