DO NOT EVER USE MAGNARAM WITH EVERQUEST
*repeat*
NEVER USE MAGNARAM WITH EVERQUEST

you WILL lag.
What I think it does: Magnaram compresses your RAM so you have more. Nice, right? Bad part is, your VIDEO CARD no longer uses it's texture memory so you use your swap file more than ever!
I couldn't even look at a moss snake without the frame rate going down to about 1 frame every 2 seconds... Needless to say, I was PKed over and over and over again...
DAMN YOU EGGORE DAMN YOU!!

/em thinks that all Windows and hardware "tweaking" programs should be banned.

I mean...why (bleep) with something that works?!?

(okay, no anti-MS jokes...I know I'm set up for one here...)

Well.. I got the damned thing 'cause EQ was lagging and I thought that i MIGHT want over 64 megs of ram. Then again, I MIGHT want to play on a server with less than 2500 people...

Most memory doublers / compressors are crap anyway! Who thinks that a $10-20 piece of software is going to replace a $100+ piece of hardware (has 256mb)??? It's not going to do much good if the only things you have open are the connection and EQ. The only thing that I know of that will help are video and cache tweaks.

I used a RAM doubler.

It's awful. Plain out awful. The compatibility errors were worse than Win2k!

It didn't work in Johnny Mnemonic, it won't work in your PC!

Hell, RAM is so cheap now anyway.

There was an ad in the sunday paper for a 256ram chip that was selling for $60!!!

So ya, just buy some extra ram, make your computer happy

I bought a 128Mb DIMM for $41, and the price has gone down since them.

RAM doublers/compressers further become a moot point when you realize that unless you have a blazing fast processor, by the time the data is compressed it could already be in and out of the RAM and processed already.

Not flaming you just letting you know, hehe
