Instead of writing directly to the hard disk, the information to be written would go to MagnaRAM's own buffer as this was a faster process. MagnaRAM would insert itself in the string of Windows Programs that determined what pieces of RAM will be moved to the hard disk. MagnaRAM worked by replacing a portion of Windows' virtual memory system. MagnaRAM was also released as a separate utility. It was a virtual memory compression utility for Windows 3.1, Windows For Workgroups and Windows 95. It allows drivers to be loaded before loading QEMM and still allow the use of QEMM's Stealth feature. It relocates DOS kernel, COMMAND.COM interpreter, DOS resources (e.g.: buffers, file handles, stacks, lastdrive). It will therefore completely bypass the POST, including the BIOS startup screen and the time-consuming memory test and device enumeration, and just restore the CPU state and interrupts to their initial state after POST.
