Is there a way 2 use a usb drive as ram?
Answer:
No you cannot. RAM sticks inside the PC are 'lightning fast' compared to USB sticks. USB are horribly slow.
Also, RAM memory is made so that it forgets everything when the power is taken away. USB sticks are the opposite. They are 2 completely different types of memory.
Not yet, the OS will not allow it, the motherboard may let you but it all depends on the OS.
NO. you can try using it as a swap file but not RAM.
Your usb drives are for external hardware. Ram is an internal program to increase memory. I don't know of anybody that has applied that ability to hardware. Who knows, maybe in the future. Would be a good idea.
Hope that helps.
No, Hard drive is a storage. it is not random access memory.
no, tflash memory in a flash/usb drive runs at speeds much too low than that of ram. standard ram(im assuming ddr400) runs at 800 mhz, which is pretty fast when youconsider that some CPUs only run at 533 mhz (old ones albiet). i tested some flash drives i had laying around and the highest one ran at somewhere around 100 mhz. either way, newer motherboards are now moving to DDR2 ram which is not the same stuff used in flash drives (SDRAM). So, even if you COULD do it, it would be very inadvisable to actually do it .
Hope this helps!
