This article explains how to add extra system memory to your old Windows XP computer or laptop using an inexpensive USB Flash Drive. Plug your USB Flash Drive into an available USB slot on PC. Once your computer notifies you it has recognized your flash drive, proceed to click on the start menu in Microsoft Windows XP. Inside the Start Menu, select and click the "Control Panel." Once Control Panel is open, click on the "System" icon. A new window will open with several "tabs" at the top. Choose the "Advanced" tab. The "Advanced" tab will open and at the top will be a section called "Performance." Click the "Settings" button in the "Performance" portion of the tab. A new window will appear titled "Performance Options" and you will need to select the "Advanced" tab there now. In the "Advanced" tab there will be a section called "Virtual Memory" and a button that says "Change." Click on that "Change" button. The screen that is now in front of you will have a list of drives available and one of those will be your flash drive. Determine which is your flash drive and click on it so it is highlighted. If you are not going to be using the flash drive for anything else, select the "System Managed Size" option and then click "Set." Now, click "OK" at the bottom of the window. Restart your computer and that's it! You now have extra virtual memory for your PC.
