I suppose any gains would depend on how sparse

If you're on an eternal quest for more RAM, have you looked
at using an NVMe SSD device, or an UltraDIMM? They may not
perform as fast as RAM, but you can get a lot more space for
less money, so the capacity may make up for the shortfall in
performance.<br>
