I downloaded more RAM in the 90s. It was a product called RAM Doubler for the Macintosh. At that time memory had to be pre-allocated for applications through a setting in the resource fork, always used exactly the amount you set, and couldn’t grow beyond that. It was static, making it hard to run multiple programs simultaneously. RAM Doubler did wonders to work around that OS limitation.
There was a virtual swap space program that I downloaded in the Windows 95-98 era that did something similar. Worked reasonably well, if slowly, but everything was slower back then with computers.
