I have never heard of a USB RamDisk. I know you can get SATA ones:

so I guess there's no reason why you couldn't get a SATA one and put it in an external USB housing.
Not cheap though and most I have seen use DIMM not SODIMM.

Interesting idea, however the short answer No. There is more needed then just a simple converter for RAM to actually remember the data that is stored on it. Flash media != Memory.

Yes your correct it is flash... Is there a converter no... DIMM RAM has all kinds of certifications and needs firmware to run correctly with the USB interfaces on your machinene... also thinking on the bigger scale your converting 100 - 240 pins just down to 2 cables inside the USB cable... firmware and an arm controller would defo be needed.

I doubt such a thing exists, and also ReadyBoost needs non-volatile storage, rather than RAM that would forget it's contents. Thirdly the cost of a 4GB USB key to use with ReadyBoost would likely be cheaper than almost any device you could buy anyway ;)
