some body told me earlier that i can use my pendrives as ram in win vista, is it true?

if yes then please tell me how, as i will have to upgrade my pc & want to buy the ram. if pendribes do fine i replace the idea for buying ram.

wat u askin about is ReadyBoost

Wikipedia entry

however it is used more as a temporary solution to use app needin extra memory rather than a complete replacement to RAM upgrade

RAM would sstill be faster than flash

You need a ready boost enabled pen drive. As these have faster access speeds, they are a bit expensive but in terms of reliability/durability can't match RAM. So its better to upgrade RAM rather than using that solution.

AFAIK DDR2 RAM'S are dirt cheap and another thing is that the life of the pen drive will reduce drastically due to frequent read/write cycles. And to use it in vista you get some option in the right click context menu of the pen drive

thanx bro's i now try to add ram into my pc to get good performance.

thanx again for clearing my doubts..
