Therefore if we install to /SDCARD or even the whole OS keep running it from the SDCARD we will have all this free memory for the OS...correct?
You're making my brain hurt... I don't know what you're trying to ask, and I think you might be using the wrong terms.

RAM is volatile. It is wiped every time you shutdown your phone (or computer).

ROM is where the WinMo OS is stored. We're trying to get Android to take over this portion, so WinMo would no longer be required on our phones - we could run pure Android.

I'm still not sure if that answered your question.
