Default Virtual memory (swap) on SD Card (WM6)

Hello everybody. I want to know if there is a way (a methode or a software) to create virtual memory on the SD Card and use it as RAM memory (like the swap file in Windows XP).I Have a HTC Trinity WM6 with FAMAN 4.03 beta3 ROM.
And thanx

Why would you want to do this? Most memory cards have very low read & write speeds compared to the real ram so it would slow your device down a lot.

Just hunt down in the specific forum for your phone and examine the different ROMs available. You might find one that is maximized for high available RAM. With my Wizard i've found ROMs that can range from 20mb free to 30mb free. Just have to do some digging. Good thing that some ROM cooks provide screenshots of the memory settings page so you can see the available program/storage memory available.

I did the memory maid test and it said that the system could read and write at 100Mbyte/s having something to do with the SD card, so it must be possible, although the cards external readings where 8 Mbyte/s

you are misreading something somewhere
even the fastests harddisks rarely do 100MB/sec
fast sdcards do 8MB/sec but only in readers
the sd interface of pda's prob can't read more then 2MB/sec
you can bench using pocket mechanics

WinMo doesn't support swap concept.
If you are out of RAM, you are out of RAM.
