If you are talking about ReadyBoost, yes. However, be aware that just any old generic USB flash drive won't work with ReadyBoost. It has to have a specific data transfer rate in order for ReadyBoost to work. A handful of drives have come out on the market that are clearly labeled "Vista Compatible" or "ReadyBoost Enabled" so if you really want that feature right now you are going to pay a premium for those drives. You might get lucky with a generic one that works with it but all the drives I have, even a Kingston 2GB not a year old doesn't support ReadyBoost. Note, ReadyBoost only works with flash drives and not external hard drives.

You can set that option with win98/2000/xp.
Even VISTA do that automatically, this "virtual RAM" is very slow because it is a hard disk drive. The purpose of the ram is to be fast.

Yes, it does.
And it is supposed to be faster than using the hard drive as Virtual memory.

yes it is possible, to use eg flash drives, external hard drives.. as VRAM.. this is done via the drive options like right click on the drive letter.
