I have never used it but they have Software now that can speed up
Access times on CD rom drives etc.Do you remember the Fiasco on I
think it was Magna Ram or some similiar name that was supposed to
increase your available Ram and it turned out that it didnt and the
Company had to recall all the Software?They do have Software out
such as "Hurricane" that speeds up Ram> Usually its on the order of
say 30%.After a certain point you need more Physical Memory as there
is no improvement after that point.Most of these use little Compression tricks and if it is Software as opposed to Physical and
something goes wrong with the Software it can cause other
problems.

After all is said and done and even if the 496% was true which I find
hard to believe then KM would improve existing Hardrives and the
Software would then improve it even faster. Most Hardrives today have
an access time of 10ms. A 500% improvement over 10ms sounds a
little farfetched to me.Just my opinion.
