[GRLUG] Video RAM as swap

[John Harig]

I think the warning is interesting to read . . .
especially about the no ecc.  Sounds a bit like using
a saw to hammer in nails.  Someone could do it to show
it can be done or as a cool project, but i would think
there would be a lot better solutions for swap space
than using a video card.  There wasn't a meeting
tonight I hope as I think it has been a month now
since the last . . .
