Windows Readyboost

Windows is always hungry for more memory. The operating system is not bound to just the physical memory, RAM installed on the motherboard. You can create additional virtual memory on your drive. This is also called a page file.

 

Windows Vista can use the memory on a Flash drive as an extra, or expanded Memory Cache. Flash memory is extremely fast.

Try This: Use Windows ReadyBoost

Insert a Flash Memory stick into the USB drive. You should be prompted with the AutoPlay options. If the Flash drive is compatible, you can choose the Windows ReadyBoost.

Microsoft recommends 1 to 3 times the amount of RAM for this ReadyBoost. For example, if you have 1 GB of physical memory (RAM), you should set aside 3 GB on the Flash drive.
