Cool Re: Adding More Ram Via Sd Card

But even with my basic knowledge I can safely say it is not possible to allocate space on the SD card as system memory on the hardware side. Are you saying that it is also not possible to do so software side?
LOL. Sorry man. Ill simplify it in a diagram:

INPUT ---> KERNEL DEBUGGER ---> CODE > BINARY > DATA ---> PROCESSOR ---> RAM=CACHE ---> OUTPUT

Thats how the basic computing works. And say you have a 2.3GHz CPU speed, it will do all of that at 2.3GHz. Plus, when you pull free unallocated memory from a different source, it pages into the RAM cache bin. Sorry if thats to confusing, but thats about the most simple way I can put memory virtualization on mobile phones.

And no, even with software, its utterly impossible. Theres litterally no way of getting around it. I can guarentee that the new Snapdragon 1.0GHz mobile CPU's will support better memory virtualization. If you have any more questions about hardware or software, feel free to ask. I am A+ cert.
