Ready For Ready Boost ?

Using ReadyBoost-capable flash memory devices for caching allows Windows Vista to service random disk reads with performance that is typically 80-100 times faster than random reads from traditional hard drives. This caching is applied to all disk content, not just the page file or system DLLs. Flash devices are typically slower than the hard drive for sequential I/O, so to maximize performance, ReadyBoost includes logic to recognize large, sequential read requests and then allows these requests to be serviced by the hard drive

(like adding new rams , nb: 1 gb ram will cost you 550 le but now about 70 le)

For a device to be compatible and useful it must conform to the following requirements:
The capacity of the USB device must be at least 256 MB
The USB device must support USB 2.0
The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s read speeds for 4 kB random reads spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write speeds for 512 kB random writes spread uniformly across the device.
The device must have at least 235 MB of free space.
The initial release of ReadyBoost supports one device.
