This is a joke, right?  If you had more memory you'd use it for
virtual memory?  Actually we had so DataRAM bulk RAM boxes.  These
looked like exteremely fast disk drives (the machine already had
maximum physical memory).  Performance tests showed that these
boxes increased performance most when used for /tmp and / (in
that order).
