Use a SD HC as a memory boost on a linux?

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,

I just got an eee pc 900 (linux version) and am wondering if i could use an 8 gb sd hc as a ram boost for my netbook. I would rather do this than actual buy an upgrade for the memory. I am completely new to linux, as i have used Windows my whole life. If you can help i would appreciate it.

Storage boost yes, RAM boost no, RAM can do 1500MB/sec, SDHC on an eee pc maybe 14-20MB/sec on a good day.

My SDHC cards clock in at 14MB/sec on my eee.

If you have an eee that has upgradable RAM you can replace the memory module with a bigger one.

Good luck

Did you buy it online?

Do you have a link?

What's the model number printed on the back of it?

Some models have a plastic cover you can take off to replace the SO-DIMM memory module.

On the eee you can install almost any distribution onto an SDHC card, USB flash stick or external USB drive if you're not happy with the version that comes pre-loaded.

Good luck
