Add virtual memory using a USB flash drive!!! WOW!!! I was REALLY impressed with Jim Allchin's demo of SuperFetch (no, not this Super Fetch) during the PDC keynote. I'm not sure what the performance will be like, but just the fact you can do it is cool! He talked about it at PDC 03 but I wasn't sure what to make of it. The real point of it is to load the windows modules (DLL's) that you have used regularly in the past. It does this in the background as soon as you turn on your machine. This way when you launch an app that uses these modules, it comes up dramatically faster. You can harness this in XP (SP2) now by going to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters

and setting:

Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: EnableSuperfetch
Value: 1

I strongly recommend that you back up the system registry before making any changes. Incorrect changes to the registry could result in permanent data loss, corrupted files or cause your system to become unstable and/or unusable.
