For me, the standout feature in Mavericks is the "Ram Doubler" feature (for the old fogies among us who even remember what Ram Doubler was) -- lets you get away with having less RAM.

Given that Apple now solders the RAM and charges relatively high prices for it, the memory compression is a pretty nice feature to have.



And here I thought I was the only one in these parts old enough to remember Ram Doubler, which I do, fondly.


Although not RAM, but shows my age, how about Stacker?? (HD compression when I had a 20mb HD)


I was such a happy camper when the Mac version of Stacker came out. That was the one thing I envied about my DOS friends.
