In brief W Memory Info (WMI) is a small and free system monitor program. It has, however, a very interesting feature: memory optimization, which, in short, gives more memory to your programs. Other WMI features include configurable sensors, log file creation, warning sounds, Windows shut down/restart, Windows wallpaper and tray support, and easy change of the Windows cache and swap file settings. All of these (and more) functions will be depicted later in this document.
