How to Use a Flash Drive as RAM

1. Insert your flash drive into a USB port. If you have auto-play enabled, there should be an option in the menu that appears that says, 'Speed Up My System' that will allow you to enable ReadyBoost.
2. Click the 'ReadyBoost' tab.
3. To use the entire flash drive to increase RAM, click 'Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost.'
4. To use less than the entire flash drive for ReadyBoost, click 'Use this device' and move the slider to the amount of space you would like to use.
5. Click 'OK.'
6. Right click the drive letter, and choose properties.
7. Look for the ReadyBoost Tab, and select it.
8. Look for the option to enable the flash drive as RAM, and allocate the amount of space on the drive you wish to use as RAM. Remember, most systems max out at 4GB RAM. So if you have a drive larger than that, or 2GB RAM already, you need to remember this limitation so as to prevent damage to your system.
