ALL process-tab and Current processes tab: this tab ONLY shows the current active programs.

It's not a real nuisance, but it does block info from other processes. Sadly, to help newbies, there's also a transparent floating bar for every process which shows the same options. Looks tech-savvy enough to me )įurther, Right Click on a process is still available for all your basic options (including quarantine, process settings/parameters, open file location. References for a process - shows HEX memory address for all kinds of variables and files. Shows icons for a process and an XML Manifest (?) sources (never seen something like this:|). system performance: shows the current two top-processes (CPU/HDD/PF/RAM) graph for CPU, HDD, RAM, PF (all with max. BUT it still is a very convenient taskmanager nonetheless. Not for the tech-savvy! There are better options out there. AnVir's optimizations for CPU & Chameleon's optimizations for RAM work very well together!Īnd this is where I will use Chameleon for: smart, non-agressive RAM optimization. Also, it comes with CPU optimization that works very well (if process consumes too much RAM, AnVir will lower its usage). Most here will also have AnVir installed? AnVir is a great startup-guard. They take a smart approach, and for my Chrome it is quite nice to trim its memory usage once in a while - especially if that happens automatically and smart. That said, I do like Chameleon's option to adjust RAM usage. Harddisk activities are very slow, so this will even further criple your computer. Often, memory is just moved from RAM to Swapfile (pagefile). If only when actually optimizing the RAM, most programs will consume even MORE RAM (to calculate everything). I know many (if not all) RAM optimization program will only cause problems. (disabled) (I put it back to Enabled) If frozen program is detected, give a warning in the screen corner(experimental, I expect problems with this - for what is a 'crashed' app anyway!)Ĭhameleon Task Manager can replace the default Windows Task Manager. (disabled) If harddisk usage program >= 15MB/s, lower priority (disabled) If file cache => 0%, optimize file cache (0=auto) (enabled) Use adaptive method to adjust RAM usage (disabled) If RAM usage system => 90%, optimize all RAM (disabled) If RAM usage program => 100MB, optimize RAM (disabled) If general CPU usages > 90%, lower priority (disabled) If CPU program > 30%, lower priority The following optimizations are available with these options: Read on!Īfter program start, I have version 3.1.0.443. In general, when it comes to tuning, in the LOOOOONG run: Microsoft Windows knows best. When asked if I want to Automatically optimize my pc, I answered no. After extraction, Setup.exe worked flawlessly.
I had problems installing from within the zip-archive.
