"Windows Vista brings with it new technologies designed to boost performance. One of its most interesting features is the ReadyBoost technology. Today, we will take a look at what makes it tick and what you need before you can enable it. We will also show you how to enable and set it to work best with your system. "

i think it basically just uses the jumpdrive as your virtual memory. it moves alot faster than a hard drive, so.... if you have a gig or so of memory, it would work well. if you have 2 gigs, it rarely uses all of it at once so you won't see a big performance gain unless you're doing some seriously memory intensive stuff.

It sucks in the real world, even with OCZ's hopped up drives it hurt system performance. With how cheap DDR2 is if you really want to you can add 2GB of ram for around the same price as a ReadyBoost able flash drive.

ReadyBoost was doing the opposite of what it said it was supposed to do on my system. My 1gb stick was absolutely killing my system performance in readyboost mode. And it isn't a relatively slow stick.

Tomshardware did a review with a few different systems and a few different flash drives, they all killed performance. There is no replacement for RAM
-
I've used ready boost and saw absolutly NO performance gain, and that's using 1Gb ram and photoshop cs2 with 10 large photos open.
