I have heard of PC users using "ready boost" (i think that's what it's called) enabled USB RAM by plugging a flash drive into their machine and getting more RAM from it. Would this allow you to run more RAM than you normally could? e.g. if your computer only handles 2gb of RAM cards you put in a 2gb flash drive and run 4gb RAM Is that how it works?? Thanks

no I dont think thats how it works, It works as a system cache or something like that or at least thats what it says once you enable it.
