SoftRAM

SoftRAM and SoftRAM95 was a system software product released by Syncronys for Windows 3.1 and 95 computers. Its selling point was that it supposedly "doubled your RAM" without the need for hardware upgrades.

Why it was Crummy

 * 1) It didn't even double the RAM, instead it increased the system's page file, something that could already be done for free and with little effort. This led to Syncronys being sued for it.
 * 2) Overpriced at $79.99.
 * 3) It misleads users by giving false information about the RAM on the system.
