The three memory intensive apps I have on hand, Appleworks, Proterm, and
Publish It!, can use either. I expect it's the same for most apps. Those
three use the RAMworks memory and leave the slinky as RAM disk, which
makes it cool to have both kinds.

Slinky memory is accessible one byte at a time whereas aux memory is
address 64K at a time.
