Yes offcource, you can use usb drive to boost speed of Vista by the readyboost feature of Vista.

The flash memory device serves as an additional memory cache—that is, memory that the computer can access much more quickly than it can access data on the hard drive. Windows ReadyBoost relies on the intelligent memory management of Windows SuperFetch and can significantly improve system responsiveness.

It's easy to use Windows ReadyBoost. When a removable memory device such as a USB flash drive or a secure digital (SD) memory card is first inserted into a port, Windows Vista checks to see if its performance is fast enough to work with Windows ReadyBoost. If so, you are asked if you want to use this device to speed up system performance. You can choose to allocate part of a USB drive's memory to speed up performance and use the remainder to store files.

Ya i have used this readyboost, actually when you'll implement this it won't make much difference, and you'll not notice much difference in the amount of RAM you having now. In short it will give you boost in paging or indexing the files , but it won't give boost in applications.

Based on what i have read Pen Drive cannot be transform into RAM due to it's hardware structure. It is simply working like Harddisk
