Will using a RAM Disk worsen low memory freezes

On my small 2-in-1 Tablet PC (64 bit), I only have 4 GB of RAM (in reality about 3.5), which cannot be added to.

From time to time, I experience 'Not enough resources' freezes when usage is 80% and above, which sometimes I can get beyond only by manually cleaning out the RAM (I have a one-click utility for this) and thus reducing current usage to 70% or less. I suspect trying to use a RAM Disk in my case would only make this problem worse. Am I right?

Yes, using a RAM Disk will only make things worse in this case, when you already don't have enough RAM. RAM Disk should only be used when you have a lot of RAM that is otherwise unused.
