How to Use Pen Drive As RAM--For Windows XP Users

        Today I´m gonna show you how to use a USB thumb drive as a virtual RAM device for your pc.
The thumb drive I used is a 2 Gb from Kingston. The size should be less than 4 Gb

Step 1:  Delete all the Files on your pen drive.

Step 2:   Right click on My Computer > Properties 

Step 3: Click On Advanced Tab 

 Step 4: Click on Settings under Performance

Step 5:   Click on Advanced tab

The size depends upon your free memory capacity of your pen drive. So you can change this limit according to your pen drive size.
