Pen drives not using as ram because it is a secondary storage device.  

Answer 5

No you cant RAM is primary memory and pendrive is a secondary storage device.So the switching is not possible. :-)

Answer 6

pen drives use flash memory to simulate a hard drive. It is technically possible to use a pen-drive for virtual memory, there are 2 reasons not to. 1st, pen drives are slower than hard drives, and 2nd flash memory has a limited number of write cycles, and if used for virtual memory, will burnout in less than a month.

Answer 7

You can use your pendrive as extendable memory and not as RAM

Answer 8
