Not exactly. But if you’re using Windows, you can use a capable flash device to speed your system a different way: It’s called ReadyBoost, and it’s been built into the OS since the days of Vista.
ReadyBoost lets your PC use a flash device as a predictive (“prefetch”) cache, preloading the data that the OS thinks you’ll next use. Because flash devices are usually faster than spinning-platter hard drives, the combination of aggressive prefetching (called “superfetch”) and faster hardware can result in a performance boost for the PC.
ReadyBoost also doesn’t permanently alter the flash device; which can be used normally afterwards.
Not exactly using the same as using it for more RAM, but it’s better than nothing!
