Running A Game On A PC With No System RAM
(hackaday.com)
I don't like this April Fool's joke. A bit too close to reality.
This RAM shortage is getting out of hand.
Ultimately the most viable method is to lean into the CPU’s many megabytes of cache and modify a CoreBoot BIOS image to simply not initialize system RAM.
As long as you can squeeze your software into the BIOS image and available CPU cache memory, you can run amazing software like the Snake clone in the video.
