Jump Drives as Memory help
 

Ok this is probably an easy problem to solve but I have been looking into getting new memory for my laptop for a while now BUT since my laptop is so old it only takes DDR memory NOT DDR 2 which means mines is more expensive and getting a new tower is something I wanted to do but I'm too lazy.

So I hear I can use those USB jump drives as extra memory, and they are cheap too, is there any special program or settings I need to use in windows xp (SP2) in order to use the jump drive as just extra memory?

Was that even available on XP?

Anyway, Speedboost doesn't make much, if any, difference. Its much better to spend a little more for real memory.

SpeedBoost™ can only be used under Windows Vista, and it is primarily for caching disk I/O. It is b not a replacement for real memory, and shouldn't be thought as such.

So, basically, it's helpful if you do a lot of reading and writing to CD's, DVD's, etc?

Damn, so much for my easy and cheap solution, thanks guys

Well, memsticks are still nice to have. I ALWAYS advice getting at least one memstick for backing up data/moving data.
