minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 days agoI remember when virtual ram was a thing. I can’t remember exactly how it worked but IIRC software designated part of your hard disk as temporary ram. Which is a convoluted way of saying it used to be possible
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•21 hours agoUhh kinda. I don’t think latency is anywhere near 70ns on a NVMe drive, so it would still be ridiculously slow compared to ddr1 even for most tasks.

It is still possible. Its called swap
swap is way slower than physical RAM though
PCIe4 NVME is faster than DDR1 used to be.

Nowadays people like zram swap
