    I’m not sure about that, because some programs require a certain amount of ram and GPU memory to run, so if you tried to run cs 2 on a potato it will probably crash.

      I avoid the nitty gritty because I’m a software guy but as far as I know nothing is inherently stopping the computer from using the hard drive as extremely slow RAM even for the GPU. I mean we already have page and swap files, might need to be implemented, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be technically done.
