Would you?

buys cloud storage uses it as swap space

This is so cursed that I want to try it out.

You like cursed? Way back in the mists of time I got a 32MB (not a typo) upgrade for an 8MB computer. In total: 40MB. Since I knew it ran fine with just the 8MB, I set up a RAM disk of 32MB and put the Windows swap file in it. Windows absolutely insisted (and maybe still does) that there be a swap file, so why not put that back in RAM? It worked perfectly, but that memory was better used for other things, so the cursed setup didn't last all that long. Edits: Typo city baby.

I would have loved to have 32 MB RAM. I was stuck with a 486 with 16 MB RAM and 600ish MB HDD until 2003 or so, because we couldn’t afford to upgrade. I think I upgraded to a second-hand Pentium 3 at that point, and upgraded the RAM with mismatched RAM modules (different brands, different capacities) salvaged from systems my school was throwing away.

systems my school was throwing away I wish people threw away perfectly usable stuff in places I could easily find them.

The computers they were throwing away were broken, and they didn’t have a use for PC-133 RAM any more.
