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?

it wouldnt necessarily have to be in the same chip, the design of CPUs with GPU/RAM could become similar to the design of gfx cards as they are now. it would probably make sense to have it slot based too so that you can easily add more.
when you want to upgrade, you just add one component, instead of a second graphics card and/or more ram, plus you get the added benefit of more processing.
