This probably sounds like a stupid question, but do memory sticks count as RAM?

For what it's worth, any solidstate memory is much faster than spindle-mounted platters, by nature of their design, and anything that is random access memory is technically RAM by definition. There are actually many fast solidstate storage devices on the market. However, it is their interface that is often slow. If you have a single-mode fibrechannel-connected solidstate drive, it's nearly as fast as BUS mounted RAM. But using a thumb drive, pen drive, or whatever you call them, is not really worth the effort to me. Maybe some people can get it to work well in Vista with readyboost, but I doubt they are seeing the benefits of internal DDR.
EDIT: RAM/ROM typo. My bad.
