Hi, A quick Google the initial references point to using the USB as addition swap space. I would think that the performance may be an issue. Probably have better preformance putting the swap on a second hard drive. On Wed, 15 Apr 2020, 4:12 PM john, <jaytee21(a)slingshot.co.nz> wrote:
Some years ago, Windows Vista offered users who plugged in a USB flash drive the option of using the device as extra ram. I never actually tried this due to large amount of doubt about the functional ability of the claim. However I now have a number of Linux machines with DDR2 that I am unable to increase the physical memory of and wonder if this is a feasible option for these machines.
