Patriot Xporter PEF8GUSB XT Boost USB Flash Drive - 8GB at TigerDirect
I have windows 7 ultimate X86 running on the laptop if i get that one (from the UK site) will it be able to use the whole 8GB?
You are right, we don't see many USB Drives advertised for use with Ready Boost, but actuality its just a specifications requirement and any USB flash drive that meets them may be used...
The device must have an access time of 1 ms or less.
The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s read speeds for 4 KB random reads spread uniformly across the entire device, and 1.75 MB/s write speeds for 512 KB random writes spread uniformly across the device.
Windows 7 allows up to eight devices for a maximum of 256 GB of additional memory.

.
that includes the 32bit versions that is awesome
Worth noting that the addition of a SSD drive has removed the need or ability to use Readyboost in my system. Not really much of a loss but before adding the sata III SSD I did enjoy some increase with a quick 4gb sd card even though my system has 8gb of ram. The sd would light up on many tasks !
I have a scan disk 8GB It is a 2.0 high speed USB drive. It works with my ready boost. I was wondering. It says that I can use a maximum of 4GB. But I read some where that you can use it all by checking the dedicate this device to ready boost. Is that true. Also if I do dedicate it to ready boost. Will it work around the files i do have saved on my USB already. It is not very much at all it is 80 Kb's of files that is it.
