How to Use Pen Drive as Ram

RAM is the memory space used by your computer to handle live data. As it pulls applications and files from the hard drive, it can store the active data in RAM, which can be accessed far quicker than the hard drive can. When you RAM starts to fill up, your computer has to start swapping data from RAM to the hard drive and back, which will slow you down greatly. To alleviate this issue, Windows 7 has a feature called ReadyBoost, which will allow you to use a USB flash drive to provide additional storage, like RAM. It isn't as fast as real RAM, but its faster than paging to the hard drive.
