Does ReadyBoost change the needs of a pagefile?
Greetings,
I have a Dell Mini 9, with a 16GB SSD, 1 GB of RAM, and a 1.6 gHz Intel Atom. Today I bought a 8 GB SDHC card, put it in, and enabled ReadyBoost. I haven't noticed much of a difference yet, but I've only used it in battery mode (With the Intel Atom, processing speed and power is reduced to save battery life).
I'm wondering this: Does ReadyBoost somewhat take the place of a pagefile? Can I have the system pagefile on the SDHC card, which has ReadyBoost enabled (it's using 4 of the 8 GB)?
In short, how should I set up my virtual memory with the addition of a ReadyBoost device? I've read a couple posts on here about ReadyBoost, and didn't quite understand the practical use of it.
Thanks for any and all input on this. It's not a high-priority issue, just something I am curious about.
