SoftRAM

SoftRAM and SoftRAM95 were system software products which claimed to "double" the available memory in Microsoft Windows without the need for a hardware upgrade. However, it later emerged that the program didn't even attempt to do what it claimed to do. In July 1996, the developer, Syncronys, settled charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission of "false and misleading" claims in relation to the capability of the software.〔(Federal Trade Commission Press Release ), July 1996〕 The product was rated the third "Worst Tech Product of All Time" by PC World in 2006.〔(The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time ), Dan Tynan, PCWorld.com, 26 May 2006〕
==SoftRAM==
SoftRAM was designed for use with Windows 3.x. It was launched in May 1995 and would go on to sell more than 100,000 copies.〔
Most memory errors in Windows 3.x were caused by the first megabyte of memory in a PC, the conventional memory, becoming full. Windows must allocate a Program Segment Prefix (PSP) in this area of memory for each program started. Some utilities prevented DLLs from allocating memory here, leaving more space for user programs. This was a standard technique also used by other memory optimisation tools.〔(Inside SoftRAM 95 ), Mark Russinovich, Bryce Cogswell and Andrew Schulman, ''Dr. Dobb's Portal'', 22 July 2001〕 SoftRAM also claimed to increase the amount of virtual memory available by compressing the pages of virtual memory stored in the swap file on the hard disk, which has the added effect of reducing the number of swap file reads and writes.〔 The software also increases the size of the Windows page file, something easily achievable for free and without the use of additional software by changing system settings.〔
