Swapmon 1.60 adds support for a system-uptime display, smarter logging, and includes updates for NT4 and Win98.

Swapmon allows you to easily observe your swapfile usage and see what applications put a strain on your RAM. After a while, you will be able to rely on the findings of the built-in Swapfile Wizard; its analysis provides solutions for improving your swapfile usage as well as suggestions on how much RAM you should purchase when you decide to upgrade.
