Are you sure you 'just' need alot of ram or also a lot memorybandwidth (memorychannels x speed)? With modern SSD's random Access performance as bulk alternative i doubt you are are just looking for RAM capacity.

I did a few tests with using a good SSD as swap but the performance is worse by magnitudes. So having RAM is the only way to go as of now.
