All programs that you are running right now (including the OS) are loaded into the RAM. If the RAM fills up, parts of the process get moved to VM and new processes are loaded to RAM. That is why most computers slow way down when the memory gets stretched to its limits. Your hard drive has to make up for the lack of memory, and things read and write much slower to and from the hard drive. Flash drives are sometimes faster, but are still limited by BUS speeds. Until BUS standards increase, using flash drives won't really make that big of a difference.</p></blockquote><p></p>
