lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> From my ancient times in Windows, I remember that you could plug a USB pendrive and tell Windows to use it as part of your RAM memory. Not sure if it really worked like that, but it seemed to add some working memory.20:21
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Do we have something like that in Linux? I am short on RAM all the time and thought, could I use a SSD to overcome that limitation?20:21
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> I guess I know the answer is 'no' (otherwise people would have 1TB of RAM quite cheap, right?). But why?20:22

lubot[telegram] <Michal> I mean why not? is it because of the physical hardware connection between the RAM and the motherboard that makes it much faster than the SSD to the motherboard?)20:40
