It's not like we gain performance by defragging the hard disk.   RAM is always allocated contiguously and if the operating system can't find a free block to allocate RAM, then it can't do it. Say you need to allocate 1MB RAM for a new program. Even if you have hundreds of 1023KiB chunks left (that's about 499MiB), you still can't load that program.    However, this is one reason to have a pagefile. Then the OS can swap in and out pages and it can make large enough contiguous spaces for new programs.  But if your PC isn't a server, it is better to restart the system rather than use these 3rd party softwares, because you don't want your system to crash because of a bug in that program. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
