It is still possible. Its called swap

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

swap is way slower than physical RAM though

PCIe4 NVME is faster than DDR1 used to be.

Uhh kinda. I don't think latency is anywhere near 70ns on a NVMe drive, so it would still be ridiculously slow compared to ddr1 even for most tasks.
