It generally works, although there are reports of incompatibilities with
certain flash memory cards, and it's really not that much faster than
virtual memory, anyway. The bottleneck becomes the 16-bit PC Card bus
instead of the hard drive. What it does do is allow you to save power
because the hard drive isn't being written to constantly for virtual memory.
