Description

The RAM Memory Protector is a simple program designed to monitor RAM memory usage and protect the system from potential memory overflows. It continuously checks running processes and terminates those that exceed a predefined limit. Additionally, the program adapts its behavior based on the system's power profile, ensuring a more aggressive or conservative approach depending on whether the computer is using battery power or connected to the charger.
