Use Pen drive or Memory Card as RAM in Windows (Solved / Closed).

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory which computer uses to work on different processes.The more RAM you have, the faster the process is.
As now a days there are large number of programs and software's which require a large amount of RAM to be run properly.
Usually Most Of the Old Computers Has on 512MB or 1GB RAM. But, that’s not enough to run some High Memory consuming software's. 
Especially, the Games require a big amount of RAM to play smoothly. I have faced many problems with Games on my computer due to RAM. 




First I,ll show you a manual way and after that I,ll provide you a software for this purpose.


The basic scheme is this that we are going to use a pendrive or USB drive as a RAM, yes it is possible all the memory available in a removable pendrive/USB can be converted into RAM to increase the working speed of the computer.



So, here I am going to show you how you can use your USB Pen Drive as RAM.
If you have 512 MB of RAM or even if it is just 1GB then this post is especially for you.

How to use pen drive as ram memory in windows 7 and windows vista.



Windows 7 and Windows vista comes with a ready boost option.


Q - What is ready boost
Ans - "ReadyBoost is a disk cache component of Microsoft Windows, first introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista in 2006 and bundled with Windows 7 in 2009



It works by using flash memory, a USB flash drive, SD card, CompactFlash, external hard drive or any kind of portable flash mass storage system as a cache.



If you are using a high configuration PC, It doesn't show any effect on speed because if you are a normal user I think only a few times you use your full ram memory but if you are using an old pc with low ram memory(Like 512 MB or IGB) and harddisk & using vista or 7. 
It speed up your PC and you will see the result, reduced application data loading time, reduced shutdown and restart time and many more you can't imagine without High ram memory.


How to use this feature


1) Format your Pen Drive with FAT file System.

2) Now go to properties->Select ReadyBoost.

3) Check Use this device->
     Choose maximum space to reserve system speed.


4) Click on Apply and OK. 


5) Your readyboost PenDrive is ready Now to Use.




Recommendations:


Do NOT pull flash drive out of USB Port while it is being used as a ReadyBoost device.


Do NOT save any data files on the flash drive when it is being used as ReadyBoost device.
