Does anyone know how exactly it doubles your RAM?

It compresses bits of Windows RAM that you don't use often...
It compacts your User and GDI resources, so there's more of them...
It moves DOS drivers out of low memory.

That's it.  It's nice, but not $80.  If you can find
it for about $20, it's worth it.
