Memory Problem

by dered Aug 22, 2007 1:29PM PDT

My labtop that I'm currently using has about 56/64 mb of RAM installed, and I have a spare 1GB usb flash drive lying around. What are my options? Can I do the Vista thing? I even found an article about booting from the flash drive, could I just buy a 4GB or more flash drive, put Windows XP on it, and use that 10 year old labtop as a gateway to the future of today?

Sorry.

Windows 2000/NT doesn't offer such use and the ram is too low to consider any newer OS.

I'd not change a thing.
