Re: [AI] Should I migrate to the new opporating system?
Hi Vetri Actually, I have not used Vista, from what I have read about augumenting your RAM with pen drives, I don't think any brand should matter. I don't think, the pen drive should be empty. Whatever, free memory is there on the pen drive should be usable by the OS.

That's correct and I think the public data version of JAWS 9.0 will work even better with Vista. Thanks for Harish and Anshul for their inputs. But Harish, I am interested to know more about the pen drive being used as a memory ram - (The duel boot). Do all the pen drives work? Or do we need special ones? Do they require any additional software in order to use them this way? I am assuming that the pen drive should be empty for it's effective functioning as memory ram. right?

Re: [AI] Should I migrate to the new opporating system?
Sir, I tried this out a couple of months back when I had purchased my laptop with Windows Vista and 1 GB RAM. I inserted an empty 1 GB pen drive and noticed the difference. Sir, It really works without the need of any special softwares. Ya but now I have switched over to XP due to compatibility problems. Hope this helps, Abdul To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
