Wink converting hard-disk to ram


hello i have a RAM of 64 MB and on the other hand a huge hard-disk of more than 50 GB free-space. Isn't there any way that some of the hard disk space may be used as RAM without buying a new ram. many games don't run on my pc.

u are already using a part of your hard disk as RAM.
It's called the page file.

Well ... theoritacally yes .. but practically no ... ur ram is way faster than the hdd ... and if u do use hdd space for temp. file storage then u'll definitely end up having a degraded performance. ...

Simply put ... ur pf is the virtual ram shared from the hdd ...
