Londonlad - the RAM thing is called speedboost, I think. You put a USB pen drive in a socket or a memory card and as long as its fast enough, it will use it as additional memory. It is clever enough to work out whether it is fast enough because if it isn't, you don't get the option to use it. They reckon you should put in a USB drive that is the same Mb size as your physical or real memory.

I was finding it hard to believe that billy would add a feature that. Imagine adding 4 gigs of ram!

I've got loads of pc gaming friends that use 4GB of RAM in their computers, can't Vista handle 8GB of RAM...?

but this is using a usb key not making you spend more money buying expensive ram and installing it. Thats why I was surprised.

Well it isn't RAM exactly, and it's not as efficient as RAM. From things that I've read, it doesn't really improve performance by a lot, so a RAM upgrade is obviously more efficient.
