This is already possible with existing DRAM memory; simply cool the RAM chips sufficiently and you increase data retention enough to extract the RAM sticks and read back the data. However, if someone has physical access to your PC, there is almost certainly an easier way for them to gain access to your data. The best protection is restricting physical access.
