I think 4GB is the maximum for ReadyBoost
I tried a 1GB one and it said it wasn't fast enough?
I'm not sure which models are Readyboost compatible, I also tried a 1Gb yesterday (a family members) it gave the readyboost option, but I didn't try it.
Cool, do you get increase in speed?

Well, not that i could notice really. Didn't really try it that much...You think that running a flash drive like that the whole time affects the drive at all? I mean it's not like a real hdd..

I don't know, the only PC in our house with Vista is our small file server.
I'll try it out sometime and get back to you.

It's not suppose to be a hdd replacement. It's suppose to be a RAM supplement
I think
yeah I know. But i just thought that running it like that the whole time might do some kind of damage to the drive. it's not like flash drives are meant to transfer data 24/7.
It does reduce the life of the flash-drive, flash drives only have a certain amount of writes before it no longer works. Reading is not a issue.

I am using my 8gig Flash card for my digital camera and it works perfectly. Big difference. Although I imagine 8gigs is a bit much.

its added an extra thing on the autostart menu.
i dont see the value in it.... and people laughed and ridiculed me when i upgraded to 3GB ram when i got vista, saying i wont need it.
i use my memory stick for transporting data.

So do you notice a difference with 3Gb RAm rather than two?

It's only really meant to be used by older PC's that don't have enough RAM (512K). With 2GB ram you will only be doing yourself a dis-service by using it.

How many people have Flash disks smaller than 256mb thesedays, and how would much less than that help anyway?
Fast enough would be standard USB 2.0 so not much there either....
Not actually hey
It's actually the transfer rate the drive itself supports, ie. bandwidth per second Usb 2 is a plus, and necessary, but so is a fast flash drive.

ya, like the type of USB stick that you can play video off without lag or damage to the disk.
