This tutorial is for those who have old machines. as i mentioned. so comparing this method with SSD is so ridiculous. using flash drive as a RAM is just for those 3rd world countries who can't able to purchase costly High Memory RAM's or even have a old technology like SDRAM, DDR1 , that would not be available anymore. so this was a second way to boost there work. Don't try to compare it with latest technology. if you have SSD and DDR3,4,... RAMs don't try this method.

i actually try it on ddr3 computer that only have 2 gb of ram and there are almost no noticable effect . flash drive activity isnt even high so i really dont think it is working for newer computer . you better just buy a ram instead . ram is cheap this day . you can get 4gb for around $20

Why use it as a flash drive as a page file? Flash drives are limited by the USB speed. Old computers probably have usb1.1 (Judging from the DDR1 statement) and that isn't enough to be worth it.
USB 2.0 isn't useable with readyboost as well imho. It's not usable to those people from third world countries as well. Cheap flash drives are very slow yah know? Won't even right 20MB/s. That isn't usable as a page file imho.

the max throughput of usb 1.1 is just 12mbps or 1.5MB/s . usb 2 increase it to 480mbps or 60MB/s but the speed of the flash drive still depend on the chip inside the flash drive itseld

and it is actually only using flashdrive as pagefile when random read/write needed because nand flash have better random speed than traditional hard disk drive

i try readyboost on 2GB ddr3 pc and there are almost no effect at all .

Good tutorial though you should give wikihow credit for the images (Idk If I missed some part where you gave it), other than that good job

That would be a bad idea, using storage drivers as VRAM is just like vSwap in Linux, which is just useless to be honest, upgrading your actual ram will do the job.

vswap actually just act like pagefile in windows . even tough it is not increasing performance most of the time it will prevent system crash if you overflow the memory
