ReadyBoost is not the same as the use of the page file. Pagefile.sys is needed, ReadyBoost is optional and depending on the system will or will not help performance. It's not one or the other. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/03/VistaKernel/ -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell]

Never knew I needed it. Linux likely doesn't need it. It's likely a cludge needed due to Vista being a little on the heavy side. Nobody will use readyboost once the machines catch up and MS brings out beta 2, ah SP1, with the performance fix. Furthermore, M$ SHOULD be getting cheaper. It is.

SLOW...good grief, this thing is painfully slow
No ready boost memory used either. Didn't think I needed it with 2 Gig ram and only 1.1 gig used typically. The ram is Corsair PC2-6400 (2 sticks of matched 1 Gig memory). There shouldn't be an issue with processing power or ram as I tried to overbuild this pc relative to my current needs (see specs in first post).
