        Do you have an SSD installed and configured? If so, you can add a swap file. Unfortunately, the memory of the board cannot be upgraded.

          I tweeked a few things and now have all the ram I need I have always found the using a swap file is slow this may not be the case on the sg-3100. I cant believe a board that cost me this much I cant put more ram in

            I cant seem to find good documentation on this do you have a link for adding a swap file for Memory.

              Adding a swap file for any Linux or FreeBSD host is easy.

              1. add this line to the file /etc/fstab
                md99 none swap sw,file=/pagefile.bin 0 0

              2. create a blank file of size 1 GB
                dd if=/dev/zero of=/pagefile.bin bs=4096 count=262144

              3. enable swap (or just reboot as a test):
                /sbin/swapon -a

              4. verify swap is enabled
                /usr/sbin/swapinfo
