Using a USB drive as system memory.

I just got some vague information about expanding my meager 2gigs with a solid state USB drive. Can the team advise me just what this entails?

Does one need a special, or particularly fast unit? Thought I'd ask, before opening a cheap 2gig PNY drive.

I'm assuming USB 2.

I accept that it won't equal the speed of a wide-bus stick. How can two disparate speeds live together?

Does one have to format it? - I'm assuming yes.

I gather that one goes to Properties to 'order' its configuration...but looking at an un-formatted one, the option is not offered.
