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.��

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.

Cheers�� John
