Was wondering if there is such a thing as a ram emulator?

Hi
as you all probably know, the maximum amount of ram one get put into a titanium g4 is 1GB, so i have this crazy idea that couldn't one emulate a ram using flash memory possibly from the PCIMCIA slot? Is there such a program that does this?
I know this seems rather stupid, but its just an idea.

OS X has virtual memory (not exactly the same thing as you are thinking about, but similar) that utilizes your hard drive to provide additional memory if physical memory is fully in use. However, the memory manager in OS X is very efficient at allocating memory to running applications as long as you don't run so many applications as to completely use all available RAM. You can see how your memory management is doing by opening Activity Monitor and clicking on the System Memory tab near the lower part of the window. The total amount of RAM you have available is the sum of Free Ram and Inactive RAM.
If you find the computer is slowing down considerably under use then you may simply have too many applications running thus forcing the system to use virtual memory. Because your hard drive is slow compared to physical RAM this forces things to slow down quite a bit. Simplest solution is to quit some applications. It also helps to maintain a substantial amount of free space on your hard drive. If the drive is very full this will also slow things down (as will a slower hard drive compared to a faster one.)
