memory. I bring to you the step by step guide to boost your pc's performance by

into "My Computer".
Note: If pen drive is
not empty, then delete all the stuff in that pen drive first.
2. Right-click on my
computer and go to "properties"
3. now, go to
advanced tab and click on "settings" that is located just below
"performance".
4. Go to
"advanced" tab and then click on "change" button that is
located below the "Virtual memory".

That's cool and all but... Flash based memory sticks are useless after like 100k rewrites. RAM are used for a lot of operations the whole time the computer is running.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't this method kill your pen-drive in few months? even weeks? I don't know. It sounds very unstable for me...
Yes , you are right. But This method is to be used only for a temporary boost in computer speed.As a matter of fact, A pen drive cannot be used as a permanent RAM.
