| | But your system lags like hell in the first 20 minutes of every boot. Overall not worth it. Stick to physical ram and tweaks.  Last edited by Nemix77; 09 Jan 2010 at 09:32 PM.. |

| | My guess would be the quality of the Flash drive you use has a great impact as well. My USB drive is really slow, so it hurts more than help anything. |

| | I use a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 4gb and i don't need it every day my system is running very well. I use this when using serious apps like CS4, or AutoCad, it does help  as for lags not a chance...smooth as silk. |

| | The lags have to happen at system boot, what do you think happens ReadyBoost just magically caches onto the USB/SD Drive? Same goes for SuperFetch but it takes much less CPU cycles to cache the ram, on the other hand ReadyBoost uses much more CPU cycles to cache from hard drive to USB/SD drive not too mention USB/SD is so much slower than ram. First 20 minutes at system boot live with it! |
