INCREASE RAM OF YOUR PC BY USING A PEN DRIVE

[Anusha]

Hay bro pen drive is slower than hDD
so how can we speed up our PC using Pen drive?
why we cant do this by incresing vertual memory???

Flash drives are not slow for this purpose. Do you know how slow hard disks are at "random accessing"? They are very very very slow. What you see as 80MBps or so are just sequential transfer rates of large files. We need low access times than high transfer rates for our purpose.

A typical 7200RPM drive will have access times around 12-15ms. A good flash drive will have it at 0.5ms. RAM will have it at 1ns or less.

And remember this does not increase the amount of RAM installed in the system, NOT EVEN VIRTUAL MEMORY!!! This is just to supplement the pagefile on hard disk. The paging executable writes to both the flash drive and hard disk, and reads from the flash drive if the data is in it, if not goes to the hard disk, just as how the caching on the CPU works. (Cache is a duplication of data on RAM, not an addition)

that is impossible...........
USB only can handle so much data transfer...............
so how the hell USB pen can help to increase the PC's RAM.............

if it to pull off...the USB transfer rates shroud be much MUCH more than what is now available......

This is only for Vista & your Pen Drive must be a Ready Boost Support usb pen.. otherwise it won't support to increase u virtual memory... coz it needs faster read write speed than da normal pen drive's

Not Supported pen drives to Vista Ready Boost by Kingston - DT100 / DT110 / DT101 / DTI / Mini Fun / Mini Migo / Mini Slim

Supported Kingston Pen drives - DT400 / DataTraveler BlackBox / DataTraveler Locker / DataTraveler HyperX & the high end data travelers
