[ILUG-BOM] USB disk as RAM

[Devranjan Das]

Dear List
My friend has a very low end computer with 128 MB RAM with Fedora 3
running on it. Can he use a USB stick as RAM. I know that wont help
much. But people at different forums have suggested to use USB flash
drive as a SWAP partition to improve performance. Will that help to
some extent?
Is there anything called USB RAM?
