Which it would have to be if you're using your hard disk drive as RAM.
It's a
feasible thing to do but let's not suggest it's in any way practical. As
it
happens RAM is cheap enough these days that it's less of an issue than
it used
to be. I was just mentioning it so someone didn't get caught out and had
their
rendering software throw a wobbler after several hours of rendering time
through
running out of RAM - been there, done that, banged my head against the
table.
Now getting my favourite modelling software running on my new computer
so I can
get involved in this venture,  that's a non-trivial problem :).
Longstanding
list members know of my fondness for  CGI and the fact that I can't do
any just
when this comes along is quite.. irksome.

Note: This is not not /not/ the place for that sort of discussion. Just
because
I'm not officially list admin any more doesn't mean I'll let this sort
of thing
go on ;).
