MaxRAM is a $5 shareware program that works in conjunction with Connectix RAM Doubler 1.6 on Macs and PowerMacs, allowing you to have SIX times as much memory. Normally, RAM Doubler will double your RAM, but with the help of MaxRAM, you can have SIX times the installed memory. That's right - SIX. For example, if you have 8MB of real RAM in your Macintosh, MaxRAM will give you 48MB of RAM.
To use MaxRAM, simply drop it in your System Folder (NOT the Extensions folder) and Restart your Macintosh. Please make sure 32-bit Addressing is turned on in the Memory control panel. Don't forget to pay your shareware fee. :-)
If you're currently using an older version of MaxRAM, do the following to install the new MaxRAM 1.6:
Shareware fees for a starving and busy student: I don't 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 America Online, eWorld, CompuServe, 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:
In appreciation of all the past support and shareware payments, please note that I can no longer answer any questions via postal mail because I am extremely busy at school. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list included with MaxRAM, or visit the LowTek Creations World Wide Web site at: http://www.lowtek.com/ I will be updating the Web site periodically to answer any additional frequently asked questions.
Please note that I CANNOT send MaxRAM to you via postal mail because of my busy school schedule. I appreciate your understanding. If you need to obtain MaxRAM, please see "Where can I get the latest LowTek software?" below.
Because of my busy school schedule, I no longer have the time to maintain newer versions of MaxRAM. MaxRAM 1.6 is the last and final version of MaxRAM. I especially want to thank all the patient, loyal registered users for all their positive support and morale boosting, especially in the face of many obstacles and many technical difficulties. Since I am a Computer Science major, I look forward to developing useful software for all of you in the future. I also look forward to your continued support. Please visit the LowTek Creations World Wide Web site at http://www.lowtek.com/ for my current projects. Thank you so much.

MaxRAM, to function properly, requires the following:
MaxRAM works only in conjunction with RAM Doubler with the following requirements: a 68030 or 68040 microprocessor, or a 68020 microprocessor with a PMMU, or a PowerPC microprocessor, and at least 4MB of real RAM. MaxRAM does not work on older 68000 series Macintoshes that have been upgraded with an accelerator. Compact Virtual (from Connectix) or OptiMem (from Jump Development) can be used on those machines.
