READYBOOST

I have been reading a lot about this but I understand little from those guides and all.

Is anybody using this (vista) feature?

One more, thing, I have a Sandisk Micro Cruzer 2 GB thumbdrive; is it good enough to be used as a ReadyBooster for my lappy?

I've read reviews that the Sandisk Titanium Cruzer is able to do so; so I'm wondering if the Micro is able to do the same..

thanks guys!

I’m not really sure; I only know that this feature uses flash memory as write-through cache. It boosts your system’s speed for small amounts of data, but if you are dealing with large files, the HDD should be faster. Use similar capacities – when you have 1GB of RAM, use a 1GB capacity flash storage device.

If your device will slow down the system, Vista should inform you and you won't be able to use it. But that is when you already have the product.

The micro can do better than the Titanium.

Very Happy Readyboost is a so called cache thing barhs the Readyboost is a very straight forward feature. If the thumbdrive can't be used it won't allow you
to even used it.

But if the thumbdrive is useable it will ask you to choose how much space to use for it. Best dont store anything important inside because if anything happeneds xD GG

Lastly will like to say,no point using the readyboost if you have only 1GB/512
because it wont squeeze much out than increase the ram twice. Twisted Evil
because rams now are cheap if ya buy a thumbdrive it will cost roughly the same price so get the ram instead of thumbdrive if you need the speed
