Anyone thought of using memory card as ram?

I have been using Linux for a while and also noticed this feature is now being used on vista as ready boost. I just thought that there may be a way to enable some kind of swap partition on you flash card to increase the ram on the device. This card may have to be really fast so this could work effectively something like a class4 or maybe a class six? Thoughts, comments?

Id rather use Internal storage rather than something like a flash card. Besides having 256MB+ of ram would be pointless since the CPU would be taxed like hell to justify using all that ram. Think of it like having 16GB of ram right now on a windows system which sounds cool on paper but can the CPU and harddrive handle all those apps running?

this is true, but 64 is still low no matter what, so if you could make a ram disk that would rule... although it may be just as fast using that as it is to open a program into ram...

Well using either on board or a memory card, which ever is faster, would be the way to go and adding something like 100mb for ram would help I think. Best choice would be to use internal memory I. I have about 120mbs of free space on board. Even 50mbs would help a lot.

You cloud try relocating diskcache.dll to your storage card and then edit HKLM/system/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheDll so the location is the path to the storage card where you put the file? Don't forget to give the cache a file size.

DISCLAIMER: This is a guess. If you screw up your phone attempting this, it's not my fault.

Hell, I'll give it a shot. The worst that could happen is I'll have to hard reset.

I'm trying this...no luck. I can't get the diskcache.dll to disable so it can be moved.

But then again, if it hasn't been figured out, thought of, or done on xda-developers then it probably isn't useful or possible.
