Just plug in a USB flash drive or card and let ReadyBoost borrow it. ReadyBoost is designed to help when your PC's memory is running low. Low memory can make your computer sluggish because Windows, which needs a place to stash data, turns to the hard drive. Flash memory offers a speedier alternative.
ReadyBoost works with most flash storage devices. In Windows 7, it can handle more flash memory and even multiple devices—up to eight, for a maximum 256 gigabytes (GB) of additional memory.

Sadly this isn't a very great alternative to getting better ram.

why don;t you try it rather than asking "anyone tried" ? and don't you see comments mate few of em already saying "old trick, but good" or "working" etc... ?

because of

The speed of a pen drive is like a million times slower than real ram.

An old trick but as written by Cyberaff i <3 it. It seems doesnt work on games )

anyway thanks

Depends on your CPU architecture and OS ..Whether it's x86 or x64.Post that details it will give an idea.

And about this thing ..It also depends on the pendrive as well as file system.You won't see any difference if you already have 1GB of RAM .

I tried it on 2-3 years back when i had 1GB of RAM and slow processor Well didn't feel much of difference.

P.S : This is not a trick it's a feature by Microsoft:P

does anyone have a serial for this

This option is to cater the basic usage only not for Extensive, like video rendering or app which want high amount of RAM (app like ACAD etc)

Well theres something i'm not understanding, maybe someone could explain it to me.

If it uses your harddrive after you've run out of ram then wouldn't that be better than using a flashdrive that most likely has slower read\write that your harddrive lol?
