With the bad-ram patches (which I think only work on ix86 but might now work on other architectures), yes it can. This patch (which has been around for a while but I do not think ever made it into the formal kernel) allows bits of real memory to be ignored and never used, rather in the same was as you can step past a bad sector on a disk.
