But there are several applications that require a minimum of 2GB of RAM to run, so users with low RAM capacity opt for buying an additional RAM. To avoid this you can use USB flash drive as RAM to boost your computer performance.

  1. Insert USB pen drive in port.
  2. Check for available spaces, the flash drive (or) memory card should have at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of available space to convert into RAM. 
  3. But formatting the entire device is recommended
  4. Once formatted, right-click on the USB device and select properties
  5.  Tab to ready to boost option.
  6. Select any one option from below
    • Dedicate this device to ready to boost: To use the maximum available space on the flash drive for ReadyBoost.
    • Use this device: To allocate a particular space by specifying the MB space in the flash drive. Note: Since the maximum limit for the 32bit system is 4094 MB, using 8 GB (or) more doesn't increase the overall capacity.
