- CONNECTIX ANNOUNCES RAM DOUBLING FOR MACS
-
- Just Click and Double Your RAM
-
- SAN MATEO, Calif., USA, December 12, 1993 –– Connectix Corporation today
- announced RAM Doubler™, a new utility that doubles the memory of Macintosh®
- computers. RAM Doubler carries a US suggested retail price of $99 and will be
- available through leading resellers worldwide through retail outlets, mail
- order firms and distributors in January 1994.
- RAM Doubler provides a unique and inexpensive solution for upgrading
- Macintosh memory. RAM Doubler is a simple system extension, not a control
- panel, that gives Macs twice as much memory to open applications. Because RAM
- Doubler is not a control panel, RAM Doubler eliminates the need for any user
- adjustments. Following its “click and double your RAM installation,” users
- continue to use the Macs as they normally do, only with twice as much RAM. RAM
- Doubler doubles the memory on any Mac II, LC, Performa, PowerBook, Centris, and
- Quadra computer with 4 MB of RAM or more.
- RAM Doubler combines Connectix’ award-winning memory management technology
- developed for MODE32 and Maxima with a new set of memory protocols that can
- typically triple the amount of information stored in a megabyte of RAM. The
- exact details of the technology are covered under pending patents.
-
- In related news, Connectix will combine its new RAM doubling technology
- with Maxima, its popular RAM disk utility, to provide a double-sized RAM disk.
- Ideal for PowerBook users, Maxima 3.0 will provide increased RAM disk capacity
- and will extend battery life. Maxima’s non-volatile RAM disk which survives
- Shutdowns can also be backed up on command or during any idle time. Maxima will
- also now include an AutoSetup function to simplify the creation of the RAM
- disk. It automatically creates a RAM disk with users’ favorite applications and
- a System Folder so the RAM disk can be used as a startup disk.
- Like RAM Doubler, Maxima will be priced at $99 and will be available
- worldwide. Registered Maxima users can purchase the upgrade for $19.95. Users
- who purchase retail copies of Maxima after January 1, 1994 are entitled to a
- free upgrade to Maxima 3.0.
