I had read that you can plug one or two jump drives in and dedicate a portion of the space available as RAM in Windows Vista. I was just looking around today and was not able to find this anymore? This was a few months ago and it may be something that was cut out or was just a myth. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this. Thanks.

Well I thought that jump sticks were supposed to be fast. Isn't toshiba using solid state memory (thought it was same thing) for a few laptops and using that instead of a hard drive. I've seen a few articles on that, it was supposed to have super quick boot time, and things like that.

Even if you can, it's not a good idea. Jump drives are much too slow to be effectively used as RAM.

I wouldn't bother. While you might be able to use it as a RAM drive or as virtual memory, the read-write speed of those is terrible. If you need more RAM, buy the real thing and install it permanently.

Flash memory is kinda slow to use as RAM?? I dont see how that would work so well even if it is possible.

Don't think this is a possible beside the ram is way way to slow to use.
