Unlocked Ext-Rom and reallocated 1/2 of it to system memory

This goes out to the DEV's and or anyone with some insight to this question.

I was wondering if the Extrom was unlocked, could it be possible to reduce its size and allocate the extra memory to the system memory via a reg or file hack.
im thinking that since the Extrom is part of the actual onboard memory, and with the pagepool utilites that have been developed, it might be possible to resize the Extrom and then allocate the extra memory to our pagepool. that extra 6mb or so coming from the extrom added to the existing system ram would, or should really be a big performance enhancement. If that is not possible, then at least make the Extrom a big cache file for IE or something along those lines. The extrom is basically just a waste of space on my phone right now.

so im gonna work on first unlocking the extrom and then look into the above mentioned idea.

if anyone has some info that would help or know why this physically cant be done, let me know k. I dont want to be kicking a dead horse (or mogul) for nothing,
thanks for time
