I just saw that we could use USB as RAM and my Question that if I use 8gb pendrive will my RAM become 8GB?

Does the rest of the system meet the game specs?
Far, far better to just get proper RAM.

Using that pendrive might fool the game into thinking you actually have that much RAM, but actually accessing that RAM will be dirt slow.

Ready boost acts as a disk cache in effect using the thumb drive as a paging file instead of the paging file on your hard disk, so it's faster response than a typical platter drive, but it's not DRAM - actual DRAM (more of it will speed things up far more by negating the need for the paging file
