Method 2 : Using eBoostr Software to Convert USB/Pendrive into RAM ...
A clean software is also present for this purpose which is known as eBoostr, It will convert your removable device memory into RAM and thus computer speed will be increased to a large extent.
After Downloading Just Run it and Use as its usage is quite simple that’s why no guide is necessary for it.
The software is very handy in the sense that it is just 5MB to download. It supports Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 and is available in 36 languages. It requires USB 2.0 drive or memory card for operation and USB 1.1 is not supported as they tend to be very slow and don’t work at required speed. So, in short Pentium four is better for its usage. :)
Improve SATA Hard Disk Performance in Windows Vista
Posted by SantY in Hardware Tips on Monday, March 8, 2010

Almost all of the new PCs that have been bought in the past couple of years should ideally have SATA HDDs (Serial-ATA Hard Disk Drives) in them. If you have a Windows Vista system with a SATA HDD, then you should know that you can optimize it to run faster. The following steps will let you hack into the Vista system and tweak the configurations so that your SATA HDD works with a faster speed and gives a better performance.
1. Login to your Vista PC using an Adminitrator account.
2. Open the Device Manager. [For this you have to simply go to Control Panel -> System and Maintenance, and then click on the Device Manager tab.]
3. Find the SATA HDD installed on your system under the Disk drives tree-branch.
4. Select Properties for the HDD by either double-clicking on it or right-clicking and then selecting Properties in the context menu.
5. Go to the Policies tab.
6. Select (tick) the check-box for Enable advanced performance option nested below the Enable write caching on the disk option. [Note: In case the Optimize for quick removal is selected instead of the Optimize for performance option, then you will have to deselct it, and tick the check-box next to the Optimize for performance option first.]
7. Press OK.
8. Exit the Device Manager.
