The Raspberry Pi also has 256 MB of RAM. So theoretically, you could network the two together and have a device with 512 MB of RAM. But by doing so over a network, you lose the key advantage of RAM, which is the access speed. You would get better results by using some of the flash memory as RAM. This is called "swap space", and both Maemo and Android do this already (you can find some posts further back on how to optimize Nitdroid by changing the swap parameters.)

So, to answer your question: It is theoretically possible. But it is also useless.
Man those cpu gonna kill me. There are many of arm cortex a8 cpu that been used on some device so what kills me. Why in some devices I find arm cortex a8 has been released on 1000 mhz cpu and 1 Gb ram, and some has 700 cpu and 512ram. Also I readed that there is a POP file on the top of the arm cpu so this kb packages is used to have that speed of ram and there is know way to remove this package only with a mini compulap like Raspberry or something elles that have more than 256 ram
