Do you know what I'm talking about?

There's this program out there. Freeware I'm sure. It's designed to nuke all the unnecessary programs running and hogging up your RAM. The idea is that it puts your machine in a state of "essentials only" -- the idea being that it frees up resources for playing resource intensive games... or whatever. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? It's got a descriptive name, but I can not for the life of me remember what it is and Google can't read my mind.
I'd offer Gmail invites to anyone that helps, but everyone has 50+ of those. So... how about just my undying gratitude?


Ahhh you big wuss. Just learn what all the processes are on your machine and kill them yourself.
(That or buy more RAM )

Found this more to my liking lately: "WinPatrol"
