Does anyone have System Mechanic 9? I was wondering if it was good to put your the program on auto pilot? I was also wondering about the defrag ram tool in it. Is it good to do that on it's own?
I have 4 gigs of ram. I noticed in system mechanic if there is anything below 50% it says I should defrag ram? Is that good to do or no? Thank you

I run it with the auto pilot on, with exception of defragging my hard drive and my registry.
I have diskeeper for my hard drive and I will do my registry manually. I hate registry screen popping up to defrag when I in the middle of install or something.
That ram defrag, that just helps clear out your ram of left over crap that shouldnt be there. It's cool, but it really doesnt do much.

Thank you all I just don't want to destroy my ram and since I didn't know what it does I thought I'd ask. I thought of getting something for the hard drive. I don't like the defrag in system mechanic. Maybe I will eventually. I got system mechanic last month and I got another year for $14.95 or something like that I used a coupon. So it doesn't expire till Oct.3, 2011.
I doubt it will ever be on giveawayoftheday. Who hasn't heard of it? It is really worth the money especially if you have more than one computer. You can use it on three computers. We have it on two. It's good on both of them till Oct. 3, 2011.
yes, absolutely it is worth it. My subscription ran out about two months ago. Ive been using the trials, first pro and now the regular system mechanic, but here in a few days
I'll be getting system mechanic, not pro. pro is useless on 64bit anyway, the firewall and antivirus doesnt work with it.

I read hotdoge3 article and looked up some myself. My explanation is oversimplified, but running the ram defrag is nice feature to have. If you have enough ram and you do, you wont notice issues that much. Like hanging programs that you close and stuff like that.
But lets say you have 2 gigs or 1 and are running it after using a couple of programs. You can free up a half gig of ram.
I didn't read that, that comes from experience from when I used to a low powered computer. My computer would lag from running a few programs and I would run the ram defrag and it was like new again.
But running it is just temporary till you run more programs and fill the ram back up.
-----------------------------------------
Anyway, there are few programs that I strongly about and this is one of them. This Iolo's flag ship so to speak and other programs have tried to beat them, but they cant.
And all their features are safe, including their registry tools. It is safe to set it to autopilot.
I'm pretty sure hotdoge feels the similar too.
