No. There is no method by which you could map hard drive space to the memory address space in Windows XP (you can use RAM as storage, but not vice versa). Even if you could, the performance would be so slow as to be useless.
RAM
No. An external hard drive doesn't have ram in it. It only has storage space. Ram is a special chip that goes inside slots inside your computer. Each computer uses different ram.
If it has the minimum RAM and hard drive space, you can.
Yes, you can. But there are some requirements for USB drives. More information you can find here http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2160
No. In sleep the RAM and network cards keep running, but nit the hard-drive. In hibernate everything powers down, after data on RAM is stored on the hard-drive. Either way, the hard drive turns off.
One can purchase a FireWire 800 external hard drive from sites such as Macworld, Amazon, Overstock, eBay, Best Buy, Ram City, Fantom Drives and Apple.
To the best of my knowledge, you can put files onto RAM. You can put it onto a USB drive or external hard drive, and that would take a few seconds at most
No, the speed of the hard drive depends on the rpms the hard drive runs at. RAM has nothing to do with it.
It can be..... But I use a maxtor 500gigabyte external hard drive, and it makes a world of difference. It has boosted my ram, and prosscessing speed, and I can take it to work, plug it into my computer there, with all my programs, so i can add in what I did at home instead of lugging around my laptop. I recommend external hard drives more than just adding a 2nd hard drive.
"pagefilesys" is your windows paging file. It's basically virtual ram that sits on your hard drive ready to be used.
It is stored in memory until windows shuts down. The logical location (on the Hard Drive) is system32/config
You will need to take your iMac apart and replace the hard drive. A better solution is to connect an external hard drive to your Mac via the Firewire port.
