hello i have a RAM of 64 MB and on the other hand a huge hard-disk of more than 50 GB free-space. Isn't there any way that some of the hard disk space may be used as RAM without buying a new ram.

many games don't run on my pc.

u are already using a part of your hard disk as RAM.
It's called the page file.

you can increase the pageing file or Virtual memory
Right click on my computer -->Properties -->Click on Advance--->Virtual memory (change )..Pu the required the values you want ..but i will suggest you to increase you PCs ram ...
