Ok, lets see it this way... When you use ADVANCED TASK KILLER you have a FREE MEMORY that gets decreased when you have a WM ROM installed on the phone, also when you install APK's this memory starts decreasing....! So if we keep the OS and installed apps on SDCARD we will have all this RAM available for the OS, correct?

I think you're mixing up RAM and ROM. Let's stick with Android for this example - anything we install it will take up memory on the SD card. Any app that's RUNNING will take up RAM. RAM is used by everything - it's a placeholder for information between the processor and disk.
So Advanced Task Killer will free up RAM when you kill apps. If you remove the app from your phone, you free up space on the SD card.
Make sense? This is all pretty OT too dude... I'm not sure where you should ask these questions either tho lol.
