SD to RAM

[Antigen]

We all know that PCs use pagefile, that helps when running on small amount of RAM. Our UNIs have 64mb, that's not enough, it alows us to launch 1-2 programs simultanously and that's all. running out of RAM!
I wonder, is it possible to assign part of our SD card's memory (approx 64mb) as RAM (pagefile or memory dump, doesn't matter). It will be rather slow than infeneon chips but it's worth trying&using
Dear ROM developers, think about it. Maybe it's possible...

Well this has already been talked about before, but maybe not here...

You should take a look at this, as it points out why this is currently not possible.

Even if one was able to get a working method, it would be highly risky and incredibly slow. The Bus speed is so low on the Uni, and having "Data" paged to your SD Card would be a very dangerous solution to running a few more apps at once. Performance wise, it would be like paging to a USB 1 flash drive on your pc....

I would rather know my open data is safe than take the chance of it being corrupted or lost on SD card.

Just my views....... wait for the 128 mb upgrades........

And, instead of having 45Mb storage and 50Mb of RAM, is it possible to make 20Mb storage and 75mb of RAM???

or used the storage intern for the pagefile???
