Using USB memory card ready boost for RAM???

I recently purchased a 16 gb  HP memory card for my laptop, in hope to replace my old 4 gb HP memory card I was using priorly for it's ready boost capability. When  checking my computers performance, I noticed one of the places I most commonly lag in is my RAM. So my question is, is there any way I can use any part of the memory I'm gaining from my ready boost in the place of RAM capability?

Hello william_the22nd,
Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the memory card this way.  You don't mention which notebook you have, or operating system.  Perhaps the troubleshooting steps in this document will help you improve the speed and performance.  Please select the link below which corresponds with your OS.  Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

  • Looking for internal memory card ready

    Looking for internal memory card ready for dual 450mhz g4 (gigabit)
    Want to put it in the 3.5" slot the ZIP® drive was in.
    Anybody know of any good/compatable ones?
    thanks

    I have never seen an internal media card reader designed to fit in a Mac. Most are designed for the PC to fit in a 5.25" optical drive bay. If you could somehow modify one of those units to fit in your machine, you would still need a USB card with an internal connection to service the card reader.

  • USB Memory card

    Do you have a software update for Lumia 720 wherein you could use a basic USB memory card to store videos & music and mount it to the phone. Android smart phones have this feature. Thanks.

    Do you mean the USB Host feature?

  • Use of memory card w/Z31

    I recently started using my Z31 and am curious about the memory card feature.  For what have people used this memory feature?  What software might be needed, if any, to use an application that might use the memory card?  What is the max memory card size for the Z31?  Thanks for your help.

    You can purchase a memory card up to 1 GB. You can use the card for viewing videos, music, programs, and files such as documents. You can purchase a SD card from any major retail store or online store.

  • Error Code, not using a memory card

    I cannot send any documents from my laptop to the printer. There is an Error Code that says "Please Use Only One Memory Device At a Time" also the network light is flashing blue. 
    I am not using a memory card at all, just laptop to printer PLEASE HELP!

    Hi TE8762,
    I would like to help you with the symptoms your printer is experiencing. What model is it? Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    While I wait to hear back from you, please ensure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and perform a power reset. To perform a power reset, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable. Leave the printer unplugged for at least 1 full minute then reconnect the power cable.
    This alone may resolve the issue, if not let me now which printer it is and we can go from there. Thanks.

  • I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I want to use my credit card to pay for songs. It automatically uses my balance and doensn't give me the option of using my credit card. In detail how do I change it or must I use my balance first?

    I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I would rather use my credit card to pay for my music downloads. I cannot find an option to choose credit card over my balance, it just automatically uses my gift card balance instead. Is there a way to change this? I have gone to account settings but cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone have any detailed information on how this could be achieved? Is it even possible? Thanks so much in advance!

    Sorry, but there's no way to force the iTunes Store to use your credit card. If there's a credit balance available, purchases will be deducted from that first.
    Regards.

  • HT201359 My wife and I want to use different credit cards to pay for our personal purchases while still being part of the Family. How is that possible?

    My wife and I want to use different credit cards to pay for personal purchased will being part of a family share.. How is that possible?

    Ricki46,
    Thank you for allowing me to clarify. As it says in that article:
    "When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit."
    These are the only current billing options in Family Sharing. Using a second credit card is not currently an option. 
    If you need further clarification, you can use one of the other support options here: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

  • HT204266 Using a credit card to pay for apps on my 4S

    I want to purchase Whatsapp from the appstore on my iphone 4S. If I use a credit card to pay for the app, will the appstore want to use that same credit card details for future purchases?

    You remove it by going into your iTunes Store account, going to Payment Type, clicking "edit" and selecting "none" for the payment type. You may have to do this through iTunes on a computer.
    Regards.

  • Which programs use the memory card?

    Can anyone help me determine which programs use the memory card? My E90 won't connect in transfer mode because Pc Suite says there is an application using it. As far as I'm concerned, active notes and sms were the ones to blame. They specifically have the option to use the memory card. But I can't find it in other apps. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Various installed programs will run from your MMC in the background. I suggest you install and app called Best Taskman from www.symbianware.com.
    Install this to your phone memory!
    Now open it up, press options - view - advanced - processes
    you will see all running processes and an icon next to them. If th icon looks like a memory card, then it is running from that. Press the "C" key on each MMC running process to close them.
    Now you'll be able to connect via mass storage.
    I recommend making a note of which apps these are and re-installing them to your phone memory instead. Also, any app you know will have a feature required to tun in the background, ensure this is installed on the phones memory!

  • N97 Memory in use and memory card not present issu...

    Hello,
    I bought my Nokia N97 2 weeks ago from your website. I switched my old phone data over to the new one, transfer few document, music onto the new phone from my PC and updated software last week. It worked for up until now but yesterday I all of a sudden
    - while I was playing music got a message saying files have been corrupted, it stopped playing music and deleted all documents from the E drive.
    - I went into the file manager but I could not access my E: Mass Storage drive anymore (from file manager) as it says 'memory in use'.
    - I connected the phone through USB cable to my PC, select PC suite on my phone but I got a message on the phone screen which said "Memory card not present (USB card may not work as expected)"even though I used it last week. However, while USB is connected, I could see the 'Phone Browser' on my explorer on my PC but no mass storage
    - I have restarted several times, took the battery in and out and tried but no luck.
    - I did a hard reset on the phone (*#7370#), it reset everything but no luck on the E: Mass Storage as it still says 'memory not in use'
    - I tried software update, it refreshes the list and does not update anything when I click on it. 
    - I went to Nokia Care Centre and they failed to fix the issue (after doing a reboot) and asked me to send the faulty phone back.
    I bought the phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - when I called them, they were quite hostile and asked me to email ([email protected]). I emailed but the response time is apparently 5 days. The guy on the phone tells me since the phone is 7 days older they cannot replace it. I called the insurance guys, they said because it is a manufacturer issue its not covered by the insurance. I called the repair centre recommended by mobilephonesdirect, they said if nokia care centre cannot repair it, there is no point in sending in the phone. 
    Now what do I do? Does anyone know how to fix this "memory not present" issue? 

    Hi mate, Not sure how to fix the problem ,but you have the right for this to be sorted. 
    I take it you bought it from a website or over phone,this is classed as distance selling, That means you are entitled to 7 days "cooling off period" in which you can return the product no questions asked. I think this is where they are getting there 7 days from. It has nothing to do with faulty goods.     If the goods are faulty it breached the "Sales of Goods act 1979"  as the goods should be fit for purpose which yours is not. 
    The Sale of Goods Act makes reference to ‘the seller’, this is the shop, the retailer, or the individual you bought it from, and is who you made the contract with. It is not the manufacturer, and don’t let the shop tell you otherwise! If there is an obvious fault with the item at any time within the first 6 months and it has not been caused by wear and tear or misuse, your first port of call must be the shop you bought it from. They have the responsibility to put the matter right, and should not evade this responsibility by referring you to the manufacturer in the context of a guarantee or warranty. Even after this 6 month period, if the item breaks down prematurely , you should always go back to the shop or retailer in the first instance.
    Your statutory rights under the Sale of Goods Act take precedence over and above any warranty or guarantee you may have with either the retailer or manufacturer. It is misleading for a shop to tell you they can do nothing simply because their warranty or guarantee has run out, because you will still have your statutory rights.
    I have an n97 and my key lock slider just came off. I had to argue untill I was blue in the face that it is a fault and not over use (its the most pressed key on the phone) Finally they sent it off for repair for me.
    Hope all this helps a little. There is more info on many websites on Sales of goods act which may also help you.
    Regards

  • USB/memory card reader problem,  any help would be great

    Hello all, I bought a new memory card reader today and our computer will not recoginize it's there. The reader is a Targus universal 32 in 1 memory card reader/writer and I think the model is TGR-CRD25, it also says USB 2.0. I didn't have any problems with the old reader as far as the machine "seeing" the reader. This new reader does show up in the system profiler but the little power light will not come on and I get a "low power for device" type message when I plug it in. I unplugged the keyboard and plugged in the new reader to the USB port where the keyboard was connected and the light came on on the reader but iphoto was still saying no storage device when I tried to import pictures? Any ideas?

    There is very little extra power available once the mouse is hooked to the keyboard. The "real" solution is to get a USB Hub with its own power supply.

  • Can i use this memory card in a digital camera?

    I have this memory card that I bought a year or two ago for a cell phone (LG Chocolate). 
    I never used it but kept the memory card.
    I'm thinking about getting a Samsung SL202 digital camera.
    Will this memory card work in the camera?
    I tried uploading a picture from my iphone, but it doesn't work.
    All it says is SanDisk MicroSD to Adapter and has two other small parts with it.

    Typically, cell phones have MicroSD/MicroSDHC slots.
    Most cameras have full-size SD/SDHC slots.  I'm assuming (not time to look it up) that the SL202 fits in this category.
    If you place the MicroSD memory card into the adapter, it should work in the camera.
    Beware that MicroSD cards tend to be slower than full-size SD cards, are 25-50% more expensive, and also some devices don't like MicroSD cards in adapters for some reason - while they work, they work SLOWLY.  (Some MicroSDs and my Dell's built-in reader just don't get along...)
    Not sure what the iPhone has to do with anything, to my knowledge it does not support memory expansion of any sort.
    Unless you REALLY need to be able to send pictures taken with the camera from your cell phone, I would reccommend just purchasing a full size SDHC card.  With many phones, the software is limited enough that doing such a thing isn't even possible despite the memory cards being compatible - a fullsize JPEG would choke the MMS system.
