DRIVE MEMORY TO BE USED AS REGULAR RAM



No, that's not possible.

You're thinking of ReadyBoost. You can use it as ReadyBoost, but
that's not the same as using it as regular RAM.

In my experience, ReadyBoost helps only on computers with less
than 2GB of RAM. And since my recommendation is that any Vista
computer with less than 2GB should be upgraded to at least 2GB, I
think ReadyBoost is essentially useless.

Your money is better spent on more RAM than on a ReadyBoost device.
