This is a great tool for demonstrating Hyper-V Dynamic Memory....

As soon as memory is defragged inside the VM, Hyper-V detects an increase in memory use and adds some RAM, clearly showing 'defraging' is all about claiming a lot of memory and not about MOVING memoryblocks like defragmenting a disk. Naming it defrag is just misleading.

Defragmenting a rotating drive is good, 'Defrag' of RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY serves no point at all.

But ill keep it, Just as a showcase of the different views people have on good memory management and a nice demonstration of Dynamic Memory adding memory and claiming it back.

Installed problem free on an XP Sp3. Is pretty detailed and has a user-friendly interface. Was a little startled with the sudden music that automatically starts up when defragging the RAM but, no biggy. Looks useful and very promising.

Here's how you can be certain that "defragging your RAM" is worthless: Microsoft spends millions of dollars every new release of Windows measuring and tweaking to make it faster, because they know for many people it's the #1 requirement. You might think they don't do a good job, but I guarantee that if "defragging your RAM" was part of the answer, they would be doing it. This concept has been around for years, I remember utilities that claimed to do it for Windows 95.

For the software engineer above -- yes, you can have a heap (internal memory datastructure) that gets so fragmented that your application can't make an allocation, and fails. But heap technology is pretty advanced these days: most heaps are tuned to not be prone to fragmentation. A well written application that tends to allocate in a pattern that will hit this will allocate from its own buffer up front. I'm also very sceptical that they could pull off defragmenting a heap, since programs have pointers directly to the memory, and you can't reliably determine which those are in order to fix them up.

Bottom line - bogus. Yes, I'm a software developer that works for a certain huge software company, and I know a little about this. Don't waste your time. For the other features -- visit sysinternals.com (run by Microsoft) and start with process monitor.
