Apparently that is a feature of Vista, the ability to use USB drives as 
additional RAM. Can't imagine how useful it'd be compared to swap on an HDD, 
but if I go too much further then this'd be OT. 

Back to configuring Vista on a MacBook Pro (that's the closest to Linux I 
can do at the moment :)
