IIRC, what Ram Doubler did was use a different virtual memory system as well as free up memory claimed by open programs but not being used at the moment. The effect was that OS 9 would report, if not doubled ram available, more than you actually had installed in the machine (tho both figures were shown). It made for a snappier system--worked great on my 520c. One of the best purchases I made for that machine.
