Did u know..

if your running windows Vista and you have a spare USB flash drive sitting around.. U can plug it into ur USB slot and use it as RAM?

Just right click the drive from Computer.. Properties, Then readyboot..

Then check the box that says Use This Device!

A cheap and easy way of speeding up vista for those users that dont have much ram or much cash,,

U can now pick up a 2 gig flash drive for less than £15... Bonus!
