Is it possible to run RAM directly over Wi-Fi rather than relying on storage?

If you followed his exact steps, were you right? / ?ish... but it will be extremely slow with such a long delay, likely causing the system to crash. Even in that scenario they demonstrated it's possible, but it's far from actually increasing system RAM. Memory needs to be both fast and responsive. When RAM runs out and data moves to the disk, performance drops noticeably, and adding Wi-Fi makes things worse even more.

They demonstrated it in the video, and the response to your query is Yes. They also explained its futility.

Technically it's possible, though the bottleneck usually lies in the network link. The type of storage—HDD, SSD, or RAM—doesn't matter as much because speed and latency dominate. You'll be constrained by how quickly data travels between ends. With a 10 Gbps connection (about 1.25 GB/s), you should see a clear difference between HDD and SSD performance, but RAM speeds are far behind (DDR4 >20 GB/s) and latency is much higher (milliseconds versus nanoseconds, roughly a billion times slower).
