General Information
MaxRAM reconfigures RAM Doublerª, allowing you to:
¥ Triple, quadruple, quintuple, or have SIX times as much memory when using RAM Doubler from Connectix Corporation. Normally, RAM Doubler will double your RAM, but with the help of MaxRAM, you can have SIX times the installed memory. ThatÕs right - SIX. For example, if you have 8 MB of real RAM in your Macintosh, MaxRAM will give you 48 MB of RAM. (You can also choose a lower amount, if you desire.)
¥ Display an indicator in the menu bar that will flash when RAM Doubler is used.
To use MaxRAM, simply double click on it, select the desired amount of RAM (and if you want the indicator on), and click Save. From now on, youÕll have much more RAM than before!!
Shareware Info
Shareware fees for a starving student: I donÕt move and destroy furniture, but I would greatly appreciate a nominal $5.00 U.S. check or an international postal money order made payable to "Spencer Low," or equivalent national currency, if you use MaxRAM or appreciate MaxRAM in any way. Please do not send me international personal checks because the collection fee is more than 4 times the shareware fee. If you cannot pay the shareware fee, please spread the word on how totally cool MaxRAM is or upload MaxRAM to CompuServe, Delphi, GEnie, Internet FTP sites, local BBSs, and anywhere else you may have access to (since I cannot afford to do so) or send a postcard to:
Spencer Low
130 Windward Court
Vallejo, CA 94591
United States of America
When registering, please identify your e-mail address, Macintosh model and version number of MaxRAM. If you need the latest version of MaxRAM mailed to you, please send $5.00 U.S., a self-addressed-stamped-mailer (with $0.75 U.S. postage for domestic U.S. mail or $0.95 for international mail) and a diskette. Mailing time is generally 3-5 weeks, depending on my school schedule. I appreciate your understanding.

"If you have RAMDoubler, you should get a copy of MaxRAM."
Dr. Michael C. LaBossiere, Low-End User EMagazine March 1994.
"...this product should be everyone's choice for shareware add-on of the year! At least one [user group] member was sufficiently impressed that it prompted his purchase of RamDoubler!"
