Default Using MicroSD Memory for Program memory

Is it possible to use my Microsd card storage space as system ram? I'm running alot of programs and it always tells me I'm low on memory and that i need to close some programs.

Well, the long and short of it is no.

I can go into all the technicalities, but I won't (mostly because there are others that can give you better specifics).
Please visit the WIKI and search before posting ...

you wouldn't want something like this to be possible. It would be real slow and your SDMemory-device would become worn out real soon. When it comes to write-cycles, SD-Memory has a very limited livetime compared to DRAM.
