I found out about a feature I was unaware of yesterday. Windows Vista can use the memory of compatible flash thumb drives and extend your basic system media. When you plug in your thumb drive, you go to Properties -> ReadyBoost and can up your effective system memory which improves performance.
I'm running Vista on my business computer and it was a snap with my SanDisk drive - I added 950MB of memory! I imagine the faster the thumb drive the more the performance boost is.
Just thought I'd share this with any other geeks out there who aren't imprisoned in the MAC world.
