Today I am posting this trick to use USB flash drive or Pendrive as ram in Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Windows 7 and Vista comes with ready to boost feature as they are optimized for high performance which is generally a disk cache component of Microsoft Windows.

By this simple trick you can use Pen Drive, SD card, external Hard Drive or any kind of portable flash mass storage device as RAM in windows.

Plug Your Pen Drive in Your PC/Laptops USB(Universal Serial Bus) Port.
Go to computer and right click on Pen Drive and click on format.
Format Your Pen Drive.
Right click on Pen Drive and go in its Properties.
(you can also go in its properties by selecting Pen Drive and by holding alt key press enter).

Go in Ready Boost tab after going to Pen Drives properties.
Now click on use this device and then allocate space to use. Below pic is shown on how to do this.

(You can also go in its properties by selecting My Computer and by holding alt key press enter).
Go to Advance tab and click on Setting under Performance.
Click on advance in performance settings and then click on change button under virtual memory and select your Pen Drive.
(You can also use external hard drive, memory card or any kind of portable flash mass storage device instead of pen drive).
Then click on custom size and set initial size and maximum size. You can set this by subtracting 5 MB from your Pen Drive size.
