How to share RAM between two computers

Agree that in most cases it's a performance hit, not gain. However, in my home scenario, I have a laptop that is several years old w/512 mb ram. My desktop is in a little better shape (p4 / 1.5gb ram). My wife uses the laptop mostly and I'd like to share some of the resources from my desktop to the laptop.

Just simple things like that. I marked yours as helpful post because you are right, and I hadn't actually thought that way, lol.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to share a drive between multiple computers. Both computers (or cloud computers) need to be on the same network. This is really useful to enhance cooperation in a remote working environment. You can contact support at [email protected] or via the online chat in your Dashboard. They will help you put your VMs on the same network.

STEP 1

On the computer (or VM) you want to share from, select the drive/folder with Right Click – Properties – Sharing – Advanced Sharing.

STEP 2

Check Share this folder and then click on Permissions. Select Add and type the username you want to share with. To share with everyone, type: everyone ; then Check Names and OK. You can check the permissions you want to give to these users. Select Apply and OK for each window.

STEP 3

Copy the Network Path and save it for later.

STEP 4

Go to the PC where you want this drive to be mapped. Open File Manager – This PC – Computer tab and then Add a network drive. Copy the Network Path you saved earlier and click Finish. Enter the Windows Administrator credentials and click OK. The username is always Administrator. Those are the credentials from the computer where the mapped drive is coming from. Select Remember my credentials to avoid typing it everytime (optional).

NOTE: You can find your Administrator password in your Dashboard. Select the Administrator user and then Action – Password – Change password and it’s the one already there.

RAM / VRAM However, if you assign a sub-task to a second PC and have the CPU use the RAM of that PC to complete the task, you can free RAM storage from your main computer. This is done automatically, though, and goes hand in hand with utilizing the processing power of the CPU or GPU (and its VRAM) of a secondary PC.

Create a ramdisk and format it with NTFS - instructions are available on their site. Within Disk Manager, create a VHD file on the ramdisk formatted with NTFS. Share the Ramdisk root directory across the network with SMB - Right click the drive, share, share this folder.

Can I add RAM externally?

You cannot add RAM externally to a computer. You can technically simulate extra RAM in Windows Computers by plugging in a USB and setting it up to be used as “ReadyBoost” in its property settings. However, this will show virtually no improvement at all in modern computers with more than 1GB of RAM.

Can you link 2 computers together?

Two computers can be easily connected to share the files between them or to share the internet, printer between them. The process is usually simple and can be done with a few hardware devices and a bit of software knowledge.
