Pseud040 lets 68020- and 68030-based Macs run 68040 programs -- I've even heard of Mac OS 8.1 running on a IIsi!
RAM Charger from Jump Development ($40) lets you get the most out of your RAM -- especially helpful on Macs with 8 MB or less. By launching applications using the minimum amount of memory they need, RAM Charger lets you run more programs. It also works well with RAM Doubler. You can even download a demo.

Be sure to see the list of dealers who buy, sell, or broker used and/or refurbished Macintosh hardware.
