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.

How do you take old things off your flash drive?

You first need to plug the flash drive into the USB port in your computer. Then, there are instructions for two types of computers, so follow along to your computer:PC (Windows): Click the start button on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Then, go to 'Windows explorer'. Then, click on computer. If you have Windows XP, go to Windows explorer first, but if you have Vista home premium, then click start and go straight to the computer button. You should see a list of drives in your computer, but your flash drive should either be 'Removable disk G' or 'Removable disk H'. Double click on either drive to find your flash drive. Then, to take items off, just drag the item off of your flash drive, and into the trash. Another way is to right mouse click and click 'delete'.Mac (Any mac software, e.g., tiger, leopard, etc.): Watch the desktop, and you should find a white icon pop up on your desktop. Your flash drive could be named, or it could not be named, it doesn't matter. After finding the white icon, which is your flashdrive, double click on it. What's in your flash drive should appear, and you could either right mouse click and press 'move to trash' or 'delete', or you could just drag the item you want off of the flashdrive into the trash.Important Note: The flash drive will remember the trash, meaning the trash takes up space on your flash drive, even though you moved it into the trash. You must permanently delete the item by emptying the trash. Otherwise, the flash drive will just take up space just remembering the trash, which means it is still taking up the same amount of space on the flash drive. DON'T FORGET TO EMPTY THE TRASH!
