I think you are confused. 8MB of RAM, period. You may dedicate part of that
to /RAM5 (which is the RAM disk), but using all 8MB would result in a
machine that can't do much any more ...
/RAM is the old P8 ram disk, which was I think 64k. It is not existant under
GS/OS, and it certainly doesn't use the GS's memory.

A memory card in a ROM01 can hold 8MB of memory. In a ROM 03, only 7 (or less
if you need /RAM5 and have no way around The Bug) make sense, since it already
has 1.25 MB on-board.
