Up through Mac OS 8.6 you can use Jump Developments RAM Charger 8.1. Starting with 8.5 you can't use the enhanced More About This Mac feature but otherwise it works fine. Some people have told me it still works in OS 9.0.x but Apple finally broke it (instead of licensing the tech like they should've!) with OS 9.1. I'd love it if Jump would take one more crack at it with a 100% PPC only version optimized for OS 8.5 through 9.2.x. They'd sell a ton of it since the Mac OS memory "management" is still lousy. :P ===== "The earth swarms with inhabitants.
