How To Use your USB flash drive as virtual RAM

Today I´m gonna show you how to use a usb thumb drive as a virtual RAM device for your pc.

The thumb drive I used is a 2 Gb usb( The size should be less than 4 Gb.) follow the steps given as such to use your usb as virtual ram.

(dont try this with using a usb that is having capacity more than 4 GB.this trick dont work with that)

Step 1:

Rename your thumb drive  as "RAM DRIVE", so you can see that it is the one which is used as RAM.

Step 2:

Delete all the stuff one the pen drive. Look also after hidden once.


Step 3

Right click on "My Computer" --> Properties


Step 4

click on "Advanced" --> system output "Settings"

Step 5

click on "Advanced" -->  "Edit"


Step 6

Click on your thumb drive above  --> "user-defined size"  -->
you can see the size of your flash drive (in my case 1932 Mb)
calculate: size of flash drive - 5 Mb
in my case: 1932 - 5 = 1927
Now type this number in the first box. In the second box you type in the same number (see picture) -->
click "set" and "OK"

Step 7

Click "Apply", click not "Cancel" or  "OK".
After you have clicked "Apply", click "OK".
Restart your computer.

Warning:
Don´t pull out your thumb drive after you made this settings, because it´s used as virtual RAM device. It may crash your computer if you pull out your thumb drive. I´m not responsible for those cases.


step 8:

Removing
If your computer didn´t get really faster or you have other reasons to remove the USB thumb drive than take the following steps:
Go to step 6 and choose your USB thumb drive, than click "no swapfile" --> "Set" -->"OK" --> "Apply"

you are done !!!
