[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 1315464, member: 39238"] It dosen't quite work that way. On a PC, what it's doing is using the flash drive as a page file which is a faster device than the HDD. It's not actually expanding your RAM. That being said, Mac OS don't have that technology that I am aware of but with 4GB of RAM, it's not really needed. Additionally, doubling your RAM to 8GB is only around $50 which is not too bad of a price all things considered. [/QUOTE]
