RAM Programs...?

Well my good old pentium 3 1000mhz is starting to run a bit dry of energy these days, its getting more sluggish everyday and I know shes about to die sometime soon, I back up almost every 4 days just incase the harddrive doesnt last much longer.

What my question is though, does anyone use or know of one of those ram programs thats surposidly boosts your ram and makes it work more efficent? I see them everwhere on sites but have never used one…???

Also anyone have any other good programs that can help me monitor my harddrive? or help increase the speed or just life of my pc…?

I am going to be upgrading soon, but still soon is a fair while away as iv got my $2700 car repairs first
