Hard drives are getting so fast they are as fast or faster than RAM, there can even use RAM as a hard drive, so wouldn't it be smart to take RAM away totally and just use virtual memory, or take away virtual memory and partition off a but of the Hard Drive to be RAM. It will soon be a cheaper option than loads of separate expensive RAM chips, and will be easier to change, virtual memory will be the same speed as the RAM so why have data going from hard drive to virtual memory to RAM and then back again, when you can take out the middle man and make operating systems and programs soooo much simpler to run, taking up less energy, smaller size and way faster systems... also currently couldn't be have only a small amount of RAM and speed the PC up majorly by having a solid state or atom based hard drive as virtual memory...
Am I right or wrong.. we could also use current programs we have now, just with a different operating system handling the RAM..or virtual memory, or new partition...
