Can i use my USB drive as extension to RAM? I am using windows XP. I suppose this is possible in windows vista.
nope...btw using a USB device as ram even in vista is of no use. its 100x times slower than RAM
YES you can using eboostr.

I really would not recommend using a flash drive as a swap drive/virtual memory. Talking from an experience point, I had hardware failures on two of my flash drives (both Transcend make). A year ago, I used to watch movies stored on the drive and it stopped working. A few weeks ago, my friend did the same thing with my 4gb drive, and it conked off too. I guess that prolonged continuous read cycles were not a good thing. Luckily, in both cases, the drives were under warranty.
But, this is just my experience. I would like to know the views of others too.
OFFTOPIC : Thanks manusag for this link, as I didn't knew it was possible in XP too !
