So i heard someone say before that u can use a flash drive as memory on your computer if your using Windows Vista. So i went out and bought a 4gb flash drive and am trying to figure out how to make it more memory for my pc, does anyone know how to do this?
I believe all you do is just stick them in the USB drives and leave them in there. You can access all of them from the window screen and put random things in them. Kindof like a storage I guess...
It's the same thing as an external hard drive. I wouldn't rely on it as a resource of mass storage and they make 8Gig flash drives and beyond from what I can recall at the moment.
i appreciate ur help, but the kind of flash drive i am looknig for is the one that can turn into memory using a windows program named Ready Boost, and essentially it takes that 4gb flash drive and turns it into RAM, thus increasing your comptuers performance...i was having an issue getting my flash drive to activate ready boost.
If you need more memory, why don't you buy new memory sticks and replace the exiting one? They are relatively cheap now and installing it is so simple. BTW, they speed of the memory is limited to the motherboard speed, so if you buy memories that are rated 333MHZ and your computer motherboard memory reading speed is rate at 100MHZ, you will only see speed at 100MHZ (you have wasted money buying the memory because the faster the memory speed is, the more expensive it is).
Had you ask the same question 5-10 years ago, then it would've made more sense. Nowdays, with cheap memory, why are you even wasting your time??? Let's say you had a program that turned memory sticks into Ram Vista (very $hitty product) could use, what's the point?? Aren't you trying to increase the speed and performance? What good is it? A fast hard drive is like 8ms, a Ram is ns. That's like comparing seconds to micro seconds. No matter what program you use, you can't increase the actual speed. HD is too slow. So spend the money on Ram, it's cheap.
