    u3 will let you install anything that will fit on the drive. might take a while to load, but it can.

    That's actually pretty cool. I just bought a 1GB SanDisk micro cruzer yesterday with U3. I didn't even know what it was until now. I dedicated like 870MB of it to Vista ReadyBoost though, so I can't use it for that. But if I get another one or when I get 2 gigs of RAM, this could really come in handy. Unfortunately U3 is not compatible with Vista at this time.

    lol, thanks, I, purposely, use too many, commas, because, my english, teacher, said that, this is, poetic.

    thanks for the info about U3.

    would I need adminstrative powers to execute programs?
    I would use this to play games and stuff on my very strict school computers.(which only have graphics cards with 8mb of memory lol)
