Using micro-SD card as "internal RAM???

[Derik.cloete]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to cook a ROM that is cabable of using your external memory card as extra RAM,(swop memory) for the Hermes 200?
I got the idea from the new Windows Vista operating system using your flash stick as extra swop space/RAM.

Any usefull replies will be appreciated!:)

Good Question and it has been asked many times before (there are old threads about it). Unfortunately the answer is always NO...

flash to very slow compared to real ram
which is why as pda's starting using flash for stroage
pagepool was made which is really the opposite
from what you ask
as some of the internal ram is used for cache for
the flash

the reasons why it's not possible is
speed
and 2th flash have a limited number of writes
before flash dies kinda like a dvd-rw or cd-rw disk
just more writes then them of cause
but "internal ram" is written to ALOT!
