Speed Up With A USB Stick pendrive

If you’ve got yourself a large USB Flash drive (at least 1 GB, preferably 2), you can move
your system’s page file onto it for significantly better performance, because accessing
flash memory is typically faster than your average hard disk.
You should also optimise the Flash drive for performance—right-click on it in My
Computer, select Properties. Go to the Hardware tab, select your Flash drive and click
Properties. Under the Policies tab, select “Optimise for performance”.
A couple of caveats: Firstly, if you remove this drive while Windows is running, you
could cause it to crash, so be careful there. Secondly, Flash drives are good only for
limited read/write cycles, so this approach is definitely going to eat into its lifetime.
Use this tip only for when you really need the performance boost rather than as a
permanent solution.
