About virtual RAM

[agent4]

I just saw that we could use USB as RAM and my Question that if I use 8gb pendrive will my RAM become 8GB?

It's called Ready Boost. It's been around since Windows Vista. Trust me, you don't want it to kick in. Flash memory is magnitude slower than DRAM.

But will it improve my gaming performance?

Doubtful, but what do you have now?

I have 4gb ram and want to run watch dogs but it requires minimum 6gb ram

i was about to give you a detailed explanation then.... watch dogs...

virtual ram is something your computer will use if as cache for large files, not necessarily improve performance.

Does the rest of the system meet the game specs?
Far, far better to just get proper RAM.

Using that pendrive might fool the game into thinking you actually have that much RAM, but actually accessing that RAM will be dirt slow.

Okay thanks

Ready boost acts as a disk cache in effect using the thumb drive as a paging file instead of the paging file on your hard disk, so it's faster response than a typical platter drive, but it's not DRAM - actual DRAM (more of it will speed things up far more by negating the need for the paging file
