High performance Virtual memory for your Macintosh
Expand your Macintosh memory with Virtual 3.0, the new third-generation memory software from Connectix!
Virtual 3.0 creates expanded memory that is blazing fast and efficient. It's quicker, more flexible and uses much less hard drive space than System 7 VM. And, Virtual works perfectly with System 6.
On the PowerBook, Virtual provides the unprecedented ability to stretch limited RAM and hard drive memory. Plus, it senses battery use to minimise power consumption.
Connectix invented virtual memory for the Macintosh Operating System in 1988. Today's sophisticated Virtual 3.0 is so innovative it's patented. If maximising your Macintosh or PowerBook memory is important to you, you need high performance virtual memory. Get Virtual 3.0 from Connectix!
Get More Speed
Virtual's unique TurboVM memory manager delivers near RAM speeds while working invisibly in the background. Enjoy the additional memory you expected from System 7 VM, without the performance degradation. Most of the time - but you'll appreciate the convenience and power of the expanded memory.
Get More Disk Space
Virtual saves precious hard drive space, too. With Virtual's DiskSaver, you use only the amount of hard drive space equal to the amount of additional memory you create. For example, suppose your Macintosh has 8MB of RAM but you want 11MB. Virtual can create it using only 3MB of your hard drive. System 7VM needs 11MB on the drive to do the same job!
Get More Productivity
Virtual memory allows you to use more applications without adding more RAM. With Virtual, open several memory-hungry programs simultaneously. With more memory available, you'll save time by leaving applications open and simply switching to them when you need them. No more quitting and waiting for another application to launch!
Virtual is used by tens of thousands of satisfied Macintosh owners around the world. Virtual has received positive reviews in publications such as MacUser, Macworld, MacWEEK, Macintosh News, Byte and PC Week. Virtual has earned the annual Byte Magazine Award of Distinction and the MacUser Editors Choice Award (EDDY) for Best General Utility.
Virtual memory increases your productivity by enabling your Macintosh to simultaneously run more and larger applications. Virtual memory expands memory beyond the amount of physical RAM installed by using space on the hard drive. It provides the same benefits as installing more RAM, but at a fraction of the cost.
Virtual 3.0 is the third generation of Connectix's award-winning virtual memory product line. It is an integrated and easy-to-use package that consists of TurboVM and DiskSaver.
TurboVM is the collection of patented algorithms in Virtual 3.0 that make it substantially faster than System 7 VM. The benchmarks show Virtual 3.0 provides expanded memory at speeds approaching actual RAM.
DiskSaver is the innovative feature that significantly reduces the amount of hard drive space used to create virtual memory. When DiskSaver is turned on, the hard drive space needed to create a given amount of virtual memory is instantly reduced by the amount of physical RAM installed.
PowerBook features allow you to use Virtual when your PowerBook is plugged in, but automatically turn it off when you use a battery to save power. And, even on limited PowerBook hard drive space, you can get the benefits of additional virtual memory by using DiskSaver.
