I lashed out 50 quid on SoftRam for windows 95.
I followed all the instalation instructions (Probabally my first mistake!)
and it has made no discernable difference to the 8 Mb I have in my 486 dx2
The disk activity is as frantic as ever, Windows only reports 8mb fitted
although Ive seen reports that it recognizes and reports more after
installation.

It seems to be untweakable, except to maximise for speed or size.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a big con? The packaging does not
list a support number and a web search revealled nothing.

Be warned, as far as i can see it does nothing to your system.

I hope someone will prove otherwise!

Mike.
