You have to use them differently...
data and frequent writes go to some other medium (hard disk)
but library reads etc. come from the flash.

Boots are fast since they're reading from the flash (mostly)
I'm considering such a system for my laptop - boot from a 4G read-only
flash disk (except for upgrades)

This could be done with links (eg /usr/ and /lib) to the flash drive.

I'm not sure if the PCMCIA bandwidth will ruin this plan...
