If you're swapping then that normal RAM is best put in your motherboard as normal RAM, not in some funky RAM-as-SATA device to use as swap. > So I'm asking you again if you are sure that using i-RAM as direct memory > will not slow down your system as described above. No one is suggesting using i-RAM as direct memory, and indeed that would be bizarre since i-RAM converts normal RAM into a disk device which you then access over SATA.
