CCleaner
>>101551831do you really have to tear open old wounds?
>>101551831Ram Doubler compressed and decompressed RAM on the fly and added memory paging (which Mac OS didn't provide at the time). It slowed things down, but did allow you to run programs that required more RAM than you had.It's the same business model that Norton started with. They were selling features that today are just part of the OS but weren't at the time.
>>101552065It compressed memory used by inactive background apps and added a swap file on the hard drive
>>101551831>t. half RAM
Brings back memories of being a poor kid with a Quadra 700 with 8MB of RAM. I used RAM Doubler briefly, but yeah, it doesn't really help. Just wanted to play Escape Velocity!
>>101551831Did it actually boost performance?
>>101551831Zooms are too dumb and too young to know that this was a real product. It didn't work well but it did exist and OSes today actually do the same thing
