Specially in this message:
This USB stick RAM is not a substitute for actually having RAM though, nor is it better or faster than having Physical RAM slotted in the machine. It is a cheap substitute (for those who have those 1-4 GB flash pen drives) to marginally (haven't seen benchmarks, I suppose depends on how much base RAM your Vista system has) improve performance with VIsta, which is a system hog due to its RAM caching technique.

IMO, Linux doesn't need this technology, unlike Vista we run on lower end systems with little performance depreciation.

You'd be better buying true RAM. It will not only be faster but your USB device will eventually wear out
