Unfortunately there's 2 problems - first, flash memory has limited number of writes in its life. not a problem with file copies, but using it as swap space would be a killer
secondly, usb1 is even slower than a hard drive, so you'd be better off with a normal swap space. usb2 is quicker, but still not "quick"

Hi Folks,
I've had a 256MB USB memory stick for a few weeks -- very useful for transferring files etc.
Now -- this is twice the RAM (128MB) on my laptop.
It would often be useful to have more RAM!
Is there a way to extend RAM using such a device?
(Something like a RAM-disk appended to hardware RAM).
Thanks, and best wishes to all, Ted.
