Welcome to the first annual “Macintosh Babble Special Mac Stuff Awards”, the awards that are given out to certain Mac creations that stick out in special ways… and some that don’t. Anyway, you get the picture. Now, if you will be seated, I would like to start…
How do you win an award? Well, it’s almost impossible to get a “Macintosh Babble Special Mac Stuff” award. The process is excruciating and time-consuming. First, you have to pass our in-depth checklist of “Mac-like Coolness”, which few survive.

Ram Doubler
Company: Connetix
Estimated Price: $55.00
By now, everyone and their sister has heard about Ram Doubler 2.0. Not only does this latest version of the top selling memory enhancer double your memory, but it will also triple it. Sounds all well and good, but does it work? Are there any ill effects by using it? For a month now, I have had it loaded on my Macintosh, and a few things become clear.
First, it works. You can indeed set your pseudo memory to three time that of actual RAM installed. To do this, you go to your control panel’s folder, where, unlike version 1.x, you now have control over Ram Doubler. Simply set the slide ruler to you desired memory, and restart. You Mac now thinks it has that much more memory! (See picture below)

A month or two ago, I finally bought RAM Doubler from Connectix. Folks, in case you haven’t heard yet, this piece of software is all that, plus the proverbial bag of chips. It’s a wonderful piece of programming. It has caused a little slowdown and choppiness when I try to run some CD-ROMs, however. It’s no big deal, though — I can easily restart with the tilde key held down and disable RAM Doubler for the duration of my CD-ROM usage.
