Hi all , does anyone know any software to use hdd or usb drive as ram ?
I don't want it for speed , i want to turn 64gb machine to up to 128gb +
 
Are you running Linux? Is so, what you want is a swap partition in the size you want.

Swap will function as ram when you run out of me memory. Not a good idea though.

Why not just upgrade?
 
In windows , you don't need software for that. Pagefile is file used automatically to swap out chunks of memory from RAM to HDD,when those chunks are used less frequently, giving you bigger virtual memory . Can you explain what exactly do you need?
 
This is really stupid actually. If he already has a server or whatever that uses 64 gig of ram he should make enough money to buy a bigger one AND have the knowledge to handle it.

What kind of pc needs so much ram. Not even cad systems can use so much
