Problem Solved

I seem to think I needed this to play street fighter 2 on my 486sx.

This worked so well for everything but games. Iit absolutely murdered some of them more than going without for some reason.

I remember Keanu using this trick in JOHNNY MNEMONIC, to reach a whopping 160 Gigabytes!

Not familiar with the Windows version, but the Mac version was actually good and useful, albeit only because there was no native virtual memory management.

@macmanx I can imagine... there's both the added burden on the OS and hardware for shifting data (compressing/decompressing on the fly) between silicon RAM and virtual memory (a.k.a. your hard drive), and RamDoubler not necessarily knowing what of your game's data should not be whisked off to that hard drive.

@ardgedee Yeah looks like the Windows version was just slow disk swapping, sounds lame: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki...

Pretty sure there's a gay porn actor named Ram Doubler.
