Hi, well I went and bought a compaq laptop with vista premium installed.It has only 1GB memory.
Do any of you forum members who have vista use the ready boost feature available when using a usb flash drive?
I would like to read comments, ect if it’s worthwhile using or not. thanks in advance,tim 
I haven’t noticed any improvement and I have quite powerful 4 Gb U3 drive.
I went and bought additional 2 Gb of RAM and installed it few days ago. Vista now performs super smooth just like it should.
in fact,i don`t like vista at all although it is a good OS,maybe i will change my idea one or two years later~
;D ;D
TimCan, I have an external 120Gb USB drive and if it runs better or not I can’t see that much difference. On my small USB drives (1 and 2 Gb) I haven’t seen that much improvement also.
hi timcan,
i use a 2 GB sd-card since 2 months.
No improvement ascertainable, but by the way, i think its better
upgrading ram to 2 GB.

Some even go this far and say it even can slow down your system…
Windows Vista's Windows ReadyBoost sounds too good to be true, and based on our extensive lab tests, it is. The technology promises to let you speed up Windows by plugging an inexpensive USB flash drive into your PC. But we found that while ReadyBoost may speed up Vista a tiny bit, [b]it can also slow it down in some instances.[/b]

As I said in my first reply here, if there is any chance go and buy some more RAM. Yes, it’s more expensive, but at the end it will give you results you expected.
Hi, and thank you all for the comments. I was basicly curious since I’m new to vista and don’t know what to expect.
I’ve already checked crucial.com on memory prices ( $52usd for 2GB) so maybe later on I’ll upgrade. tim
