$83 for a 2GB stick of RAM?  I don't know where you've been doing your
shopping recently, but you may want to check this out:

if you note: the first 20 are all under $25

Maybe that would be a better investment, given the longer lifespan?

If you still happen to want/need the flash driver after looking at the
memory from above, then maybe check this out:

Have fun!
