In the same way that if you install and uninstall software from your computer, your hard drive becomes fragmented, if you start and close applications, your memory becomes fragmented. When you use and then close an application, the files aren't always completely removed from your memory, resulting in a reduced capacity. Not ideal when you only have less than 1GB of RAM installed in your PC.

MemInfo 1.80.1 is a tool that performs two functions. You can quickly see the memory usage when you hold your mouse over the System Tray icon. The other function is to defragment your memory when you believe that your RAM usage is too high, when you only have a couple of open applications.
