Before using ReadyBoost...
I am thinking of using ReadyBoost to see if it will augment an old pc with 3gb ram W7 x32 (old pc Asus AMD K8 3Ghz, ATI 256mb agp card) just to see if there will be a significant change or not. I have read the lengthy post about it and that got me interested really. Is there like a resource monitor or something that I can see how ReadyBoost is working or if it is working other than say, see if the usb is blinking...?
I am planning on using an idle Imation 8gb usb for it. All of it dedicated to ReadyBoost.
Any tips that I need to know or do prior trying it out..?
Any things that I need to look-out for?
How about logging-off and shutdown time? Will it be affected? I have made the registry tweak based on the tips here (from the default to 4 seconds). I was wondering how will it affect logging-off...
Can I leave the usb stick there and not remove it? If I leave it and I boot to XP(I bios boot W7 and XP sp3 --separate hdd's), are there any issues that I need to know?
Appreciate the tips guys and thank you!:)
