What memory improvement actually works for most people?

Or Are there any message boards with people giving opinions on memory
improvement products?

Thanks so much!

mnemonic devices work for me

Anyone? Common this is not worth $10??

there are lots of sites that support/repeat the idea that frankincense
resin is good for the memory.  I got some and tried it, doesn't taste
as good as it smells, but now I can't remember where I put it.
No, seriously, I can remember, but of course, the efficacy of such
devices and stuff is a a subjective area.

Anything to keep the gray matter active is good, from crossword
puzzles and scrabble, to reading and TV, and plenty of conversation.
If you have talked with an elderly person who is often alone, you may
notice (as I have) that after half an hour or so the person's mind
starts to get more active, as though it had found the right diskdrive
finally, whereas before the person was responding politely but
impersonally.  In my example, then she really recognized me, the
"file" opening, so to speak.

Bump Anyone else? Looking for reviews of Techniques that work, that is
all. Could be books with unbiased commercial reviews? Thanks.
