I just had a question.

Is it possible to run RAM in Raid

RAID only applies to storage devices, not RAM. RAM can support dual/quad channel though thats pretty similar.

To be fair, you could do RAID with a RAMDisk. No idea why you'd want to, but possible.

It is a valid question. There are multiple slots on a motherboard, and depends on size/features. Obviously, not all mini-itx are going to do quad channel, right?

There are also features such as a RAM disk, but this improves reads/writes to otherwise saved (SSD/HDD) data, not RAM data.
