simple, just create 200GB of swap space and convince yourself that you really are patient enough to spend 3 days unable to use your computer while it uses its entire CPU and disk bandwidth to run ollama (and hate your SSD enough to let it spend 3 days constantly swapping)
Reminds me of the time I compiled Qt on a 1GB Raspberry Pi.
All I can think to say is 'ouch'.
SSD, huh? Real AI enthusiasts swap with an HDD.
I don't have any spare HDs but I can swap on a rewritable optical disc.
