Please note that some applications are incompatible with RAM compression utilities. Check with the developers of your applications for information on compatibility with specific RAM compressionutilities. Remove Non Essential Fonts and Sounds from Your System Folder. Non-essential system resources, such as unused fonts and sounds increase the amount of memory required by your system software. If you have large numbers of fonts or sounds or both installed, your system software is using more RAM than necessary, decreasing available RAM for your applications and causing overall performance to suffer.
Some applications have settings that enhance their capabilities but require more memory.
By disabling these settings or specifying settings that require less memory, you will improve the overall memory efficiency for your applications. For more information, refer to the documentation included with your applications. When you minimize the amount of memory allocated to an application, its performance may decrease, but you may be able you to run more applications simultaneously. Save and Close all Documents Except the One You're Working On Unsaved data in open documents is kept in RAM until you save the document.
