Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile and based on modules. In comparison virtual memory is allocable to a computer's hard disc. Virtual Memory however, does not have the access speed that RAM affords.

Is it possible to use a flash drive instead of physical ram on a computer that doesn't have ram?
No, you can not use a flash drive in place of RAM. Even if you could, it would not be a good alternative to RAM. Flash drives have a much slower data transfer rate, and a longer access time. Even if this were possible, it would drastically slow your computer down. Windows Vista does have the capability to use a flash drive to improve the computer's performance - it is a feature called ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost allows a flash drive to be an intermediary between the RAM and Virtual Memory. Virtual Memory is stored on your hard drive - it is used to swap items stored in RAM that are not being used to speed up the memory access time for things that are being used. Since Flash Drives are usually faster than hard drives, if you have a small amount of memory on your PC, it can speed it up.
