"In practical, if you try to free memory on RAM, windows will write the necessary files or cache on hard disk instead which will drop overall system performance".
I have 1G of ram and 66.6Gs of free hard drive space. Would this app make any sense for me at all? Thank You!

1 gb of RAM is alot and should be enough.
I dont think you need it. But restart the computer once in a while.

I also don't think you need it especially since you have 1 GB of RAM. Some caution needs to be used with the RAM refresh/defrag programs as I remember a few years ago when some of them were messing up systems when users were trying to free too much RAM.
Edit:
For some reason I've noticed over the past few years that running Ad-Aware's smart scan seems to refresh the memory.

The Memtest86 website has a downloadable .ISO package that will allow you to create a bootable CD-R or CD-RW. Just load the .ISO with your CD recording software and burn a disc as usual to create the bootable CD. Then place the disc into your CD drive that boots first and restart Windows.
Edit:
Forgot to mention: Use the Windows boot menu to start from the bootable CD.
