make system memory aviable
It completely fills your Memory with Data. Windows than cleans up its memory automatically. The effect is that after releasing the memory again more memory is aviable than before.
This is a popular method that is used by many RAM-Cleaners, but I have never seen it as VB-Code.
Inputs
its all included but if your experienced just unzip the Module1.bas and execute the FreeMem-function inside.
Assumes
please do not execute the code twice (you know why...) :-)
Returns
The FreeMem-Function returns how many Megabytes of memory were released.
Side Effects
After releasing memory some applications have to load their data again. In short: You will recognize that you system is running slower after the cleanup and the harddrive-activity increases, although you have more memory aviable.
