I have been using this method with my PB1400 and it is great. Less calls to the hard drive than Virtual memory, faster apps and longer battery life.
My only problem is that I thought it was supposed to remain in the PC-card slot when I resarted. It tends to pop out, and I have to be quick to push it back in at the right moment for it to be properly recognized as memory.
