How to Use Your Pen Drive as RAM?

If your computer seems slow, and you have already gone through making sure there are no viruses, spyware, or adware on the system, it may be because your system needs more RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is the short term memory of the computer. The more RAM you have, the faster the process is. It works with the processor to multi-task. RAM can easily be added to your system if you are not already at maximum capacity for your motherboard, and you have available slots. However, RAM can get expensive, and even after you max out your motherboard you may need more. Using your Pen Drive as RAM is a quick,easy, and not to mention, cheaper way to increase system memory. Especially for those who use Games on their PC they will face many problems due to RAM. So, here I am going to show you how to use your pen drive as RAM. I have explained below for Windows 7 OS.
