But your system lags like hell in the first 20 minutes of every boot.
Overall not worth it. Stick to physical ram and tweaks. ![]() |

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 ![]() |

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! ![]() |

But I would ahve to agree with the other post, it depends on the USB you use. Get som generic slow junk and yeah, expect it. A good quality fast USB stick should not present as much a problem. You get what you pay for. |

ReadyBoost I just installed a SanDisk 4GB Flash Drive, and enabled ReadyBoost, via the dialog that appeared. In less than a minute, there was a BSOD, and on reboot it took an exceptionally long time to reach the login screen. From that point on, the system seems normal, but I haven't noticed any particular ... |

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... |

Readyboost Hello all, Have a question regarding Readyboost. I have a my book essential 1TB and a 186 gb MTD external HD. Both say divice cannot be used for Readyboost. But my 4gb scan disk camera card allows the use of Readyboost. Just wondering why it wont let me use the other harddrives. |
