Hi,
I need more ram than my 8GiB, but my board doesn't allow it. I use swap, but Leap is very slow when swapping; I have the feeling that it is slower than other releases.
So I wonder if there is some type of small hard disk that can be used for fast swap. SSD? Would it wear out? SSD is typically slow at writing.
ssd would be much faster for swap than revolving rust.
But often not for write, and has a limited number of ops. I have a machine with an SSD for main disk and feels slow.
A RAM based "disk"? No need for battery backup, unless to keep the format. Does it exist?
if you are short on ram, how would you justify allocating ram for swap? yes you can do that.
No. On a card, forming a disk. New hardware.
but...
my intel based mb specifys 24gig ram but I have 32 and from two different specs. this boundary spec is not always updated when motherboards/bioses receive changes. you could *try* more ram
No, I remember the specs, max is 8. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
