Here, i will show you how to use a USB Flash Drive as RAM...
A few Notes about this:
1. Flash memory can only be written to an x number of times (about 10 million rewrites). this means that after 1-2 years, your "flash-ram" will stop working, and you will have to buy another memory stick...
2. The second thing i wanted to mention is that you need to use ATLEAST a 512 MB Flash Drive for this. I know i used a 128 MB one in the video, but that's all i had empty for the moment... and as you saw, it didnt do much.
3. Good Luck, Please subscribe, and all comments are appreciated.

The drive does not become RAM.. it becomes extra space for your page file, which is not RAM at all.

Just to let you know, flash memory is not a great idea for random access. Flash memory has a limited number of F-cycles (it wears out after many write cycles, around a few 100,000s), so using a flash drive (or even SSDs for that matter) as VRAM can wear it out. In some situations, a block of RAM can be used hundreds of times in one day, if the PC is used a lot. This is a cool video though.
