does anyone know if you can use a usb memory stick as extra ram on a laptop, thanks

yes you can its called windows readyboost [google it as it wont let me post the link as a newcomer]

basically insert your usb stick, locate it in my computer, right click it, go down to properties, their will be a tab along the top that says readyboost, click it and enable your usb device to be used as ram

It's brilliant, she hasn't had any problems with it at all, and the printer is really good too. Was really easy to unlock as well, although you have to take it into a T-Mobile shop for that

what needs to be unlocked?

There are restrictions on it that don't allow you on certain sites (such as facebook, banking site, my friend even tried bingo lol) You can allow them through the netintelligance but we disabled that and got the other block that T-Mobile put on it taken off so we could access any site (and i do monitor my daughter!)

ok, thanks, think i might need to do the same when mine arrives as like yourself my son is monitored so no chance he'll end up on something he shouldn't.
