Fix for: Can I create a RAM disk using GPU Memory?

Low Risk

Apparently this is possible with Linux: Graphics cards contain a lot of very fast RAM, typically between 64 and 512 MB. With Linux, it's possible to use it as swap space, or even as RAM disk. Source But I've found nothing similar for Windows.
