Some of you may know you can do this, some of you don't.

This method works, but not very much.


What we're going to be doing is using the ReadyBoost feature in Windows.

Unfortunately, windows XP doesn't have ReadyBoost.

This is for Windows Vista, and Windows 7. ( I don't know if it's on Windows 8, but I'd imagine so. )

First thing you want to have is a USB flash drive.

Plug your flash drive in and navigate to it.


Like so:

You must login or register to view this content.


We will be using Removable Disk (FSmile for this tut.


Right click on it, and you should get some options like this:

You must login or register to view this content.

Choose Properties and this will come up:

You must login or register to view this content.

Select the ReadyBoost tab, and you will have these options:

You must login or register to view this content.

Select Dedicate this device if you want the entire flash drive to be used, or select the amount of space you want to be used.


this gives your PC a bit of a boost and runs a little easier.

Its not real ram. But it helps!

This is just a pagefile on a flash drive. Unless you have a high quality flash drive this is pointless.

What PC do you have then with 16GB of ram, also "Gonna use this" implies what it says.
