Re: MiniSD card into RAM?

Any task from MicroSD wont work or work extremely slow!
If it was possible, believe me, HTC or others just REMOVED or REPLACED with cheaper and smaller RAM chip on their device, to make more profit!
It will be possible when our 400Mhg goes up to 1Ghz!
If your heard news, Samsung going to present and produce new 600Mgh chip!
If it will be, we don't need "3D Video Adapter"s like Nokia N95 or N82!
Our main chip will do it for US!

If it was possible to use your flash memory stick to cache your page file in windows 2000,they would have done it. Must not have been possible. If it were possible in windows XP,they would have done it,must not have been possible. Yet NT,2000,XP,and Vista are all basically successively more refined versions of the same OS. The fact is,it WAS possible with 2000,they just didnt do it. The argument that anything you can possibly think of that is not done,must not be possible is just absurd.

It may well be that it would take more detailed knowledge of the WM os to make this work than is publicly available,but the fact is,it almost certainly IS possible. It may also be that the SD card reader on the mogul is too slow. It may also be possible that it is not. We dont really know that. (yes,reading from the sd card is slow on the mogul over the USB cable,but so is reading from internal storage,so that really tells us nothing)

I see one really good reason why MS does not do this in WM. With readyboost,they took care to make certain that removing the flash device would not leave the system unstable by keep a copy of the real swap file. On the mogul,you would lose the ability to swap the card out. If you did,you would leave the phone unstable,or hang it up completely. Those of us that want to use the card as swap space understand that. If you had the card setup like that,you just would know enough not to remove it. On the other hand,non technical type users might not understand that. All they would see is that if they removed their cards,the phone hangs,which would leave a very bad taste in their mouths. (Think of people like my gf,who cant even figure out how to pair her blackberry with her bt headset) These users are probobally 95% of their market so the phones are made for them.

The question isnt if its possible,its if the SD card reader hardware is fast enough,which it probobally is,and whether enough information can be found or figured out to create the software that can do this.
