Re: MiniSD card into RAM?

well, bored at work, I decided to do more research on this topic, and the xda site pretty much dissected the whole.

From what I can understand, everyone has concluded just as you've said.

the memory card is not as fast.

But why is this a problem? we are talking more RAM, not paging file. I think someone already has a hack of sorts to set a page file for the ROM anyway.

We are talking readyboost (readyspeed? whatever MS calls it) type RAM. if a freaking vista computer can do that with a USB flash drive... Whats so bad about a mobile phone's card reader?

But I'll try not to compare 2 complewtely different systems of operation.

Besides, If cards actually wear down and such after so many deletes... I think, so be it. I'll shell out 5 bucks every few months to have an extra 64mb of RAM on my phone. that's another 900MB of storage.
