graphics RAM

Hi /prog/

would it theoritcally be possible for an OS to make use of the RAM on a graphics card as system RAM, eg at boot?

Of course. Linux doesn't need video ram. It can run in textmode.
disable swap for performance and use that videoram for disk cache or ramdisk.
Also check out if your sound card has any RAM and use it too, since Linyx already has a PC speaker.
