Default Has your memory card ever worn out?

Neil, he's saying that he's using it in a read-only (or read-mostly)
application, so it doesn't matter what the OS does.


It very much matters what the OS does, unless one can significantly
reconfigure the OS or use an OS that doesn't depend on virtual memory. To
my
understanding, neither has been made easier with more recent OSs.


No, he's not paging or swapping to the flash drive. That is instant
death.


Easy enough to configure the paging drive to a different drive from the boot
drive with any version of Windows. However these days you can just add more
RAM and not use a swap drive at all.
