I have a 13 inch macbook pro from 2010 with 4GB of memory (RAM). I also have a 8GB SD card. Can I somehow add the 8GB from the SD card to the existing 4GB of RAM on my laptop to make it run faster? I really want the extra RAM to speed up my computer. Or if there is any other way to add RAM (other than manually putting more RAM cards in the computer core) then please leave a reply. Thanks.
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), dont want to remove the back cover
No. That can't be done.

No SD cards are not ram.
Ram upgrade is a user service activity. Look in your user manual or online for the instructions. if you do not remove the the cover you can not add ram.
RAM is the fastest access format ... directly wired to the system
All other paths are considered "virtual memory" and are slower.
The only way to put more RAM into a system is in the proper RAM slots.
A 2010 MBP can use up to 8 GB RAM with the following specifications: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. I recommend OWC and Crucial as sources and it should cost about $40 +. Storage and RAM are to different entities.
Allan Eckert is 100% correct.
Ciao.
Can a SD card be used as RAM?
