RIP PICHU.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is for users of Windows XP. There is another guide for those who have Vista and Windows 7.

For a few dollars you can buy a Flash Drive, 1gb, 2gb, 8gb, however large you want. With this method you can literally take a computer, like mine that has 512mb of ram, and give it an additional boost of however much ram you want.

First insert a flash drive

Open up the Control Panel.

Go to "System."

Choose the advanced Tab.

In the Performances section, click on "Settings."

Choose the advanced tab there.

In the "Virtual Memory" Section, press "Change."

Select the letter corresponding to your flash drive. (Hint: It's not C.)

You can let the system manage the size or customize the amount of space that you want used as virtual memory. I'm not going to use this flash drive for anything else, so I'll let the system manage it.

Make sure to Press Set once you've made your choice.

Press OK, and the changes will take effect.

Then restart your computer.

I'll add images soon.
