1. What is MemoKit
***********************
 MemoKit combines a memory and cache optimizer with a memory and resources leaks graphic analyzer.
 It uses a sophisticated algorithm for PC memory optimization and recovery, which provides PC's fast response even in memory overload conditions. 
 Its Memory and Resources Leaks Graphic Analyzer helps you to find programs that cause the leaks.

MemoKit includes:

 Heavy Duty Memory Booster 
 Memory and Disk Cache Optimizer 
 Memory and Resources Leaks Graphic Analyzer 
 Windows Resources Tracker 
 
Heavy Duty Memory Booster lets you work efficiently with running memory-consuming multimedia and Internet applications in extremely low memory conditions.

Memory Optimizer is based on automatically managed "hysteresis memory release" mechanism, which increases overall system's performance.

Disk Cache Optimizer changes and tracks so-called VCache parameters of Virtual hard disk cache, which improves hard disk performance

Memory and Resources Leaks Graphic Analyzer can help you to find programs, that cause memory and/or resources leaks. Resources Tracker can prevent Windows from crash: it warns you when windows resources become low and helps you to find out how that could happen. 

Memory / Resources Real-time Graphic History, integrated with Program History, lets you know what programs were running and what memory and resources conditions existed at the chosen moment.
