Speed Doubler 8, and possibly previous versions (even
though i am not sure), don't just do faster 68k
emulation on PPC macs.  They also allow a faster
network copy protocol and some drive speed
enhancements (or so they say, as i have not noticed
much of an improvement).  In addition, they add
configurable key combos to be like a shortcut to
different commands.  It also allows a secure-erase by
zeroing out the area on the drive where a file resided
and can change whether or not a drive verifies the
file transfers.

I don't know which version first had this, but when
I used RAM Doubler I turned compression Off so it
was only doing virtual memory.

Speed Doubler is only for running 68k programs on a
PPC. It replaces Apples 68k CPU emulation along with a
bunch of other optimizations.

Yep! Just like with car engines, no replacement for
displacement! :)

Ram Doubler can do well in many Macs. It uses a combo of virtual-memory-like
swapping and software voodoo but DOES slow down everything you do.

I don't want to sound elitist, but there's no substitute for more RAM. It
really makes every Mac a bit spunkier.

RAMDoubler works fairly well.  I've used it on my IIsi and I did notice some
increase in performance.

very well and doesnt cost much in performance.  is this true, and can 
the same be said about speed doubler?  and where can a fellow find a copy?
