For the record, I did run an updater on it to get the latest version (version 9.something? Not sure now, I no longer have it), and I did also assign myself a rather large quantity of RAM. However, I seem to recall that it simply never really performed that much better than standard Mac OS VM. Buying more RAM was the answer, and it was really nice when a list member recently informed us that StarMax RAM prices in the UK, from Crucial, had decreased to a sensible price at last. Now I have 144 Mb (from 64), and waiting for apps to get paged in and out is just about a thing of the past now. (Hrm - I do recall a day when I did open a huge quantity of apps at once, for fun, which was probably easier under RAMdoubler, but then, I think the Mac might have crashed.) I don't recall seeing that SpeedDoubler feature you mentioned, I might have had an older version, but 8 sounds about right. I seem to recall that it was buggy and unstable, I'm not sure, and that I had to avoid its features, but that was too long ago now. - Daniel. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
