What happens when the information in the cache is no longer needed? Does it stay there forever because the flash drive's cache is now read-only? "no longer needed" is a bit ambiguous. No, the system doesn't know when you no longer need a program, but eventually, as your usage patterns change, the older data

When ever I enable readyboost I am losing memory. I start off with 750 Megs or so of used space, enable readyboost and I jump to 850 Megs of used space. Through prefetch it will load programs in cache based on your usage patterns so they are ready if needed. If a different app is started, memory is released for

ReadyBoost Flash Memory - Fat32 or NTFS
ReadyBoost for printers? Sure, why not? It wouldn't take much more than revised firmware to accomplish this. However, flash memory is slower than volatile install RAM that will never be used or needed because the processor simply can't work quickly enough to keep it full while the engine is running off pages.

It has such a feature (called ReadyBoost). Some USB Flash drives are faster than others, for this purpose. some links:

When needed, the memory is immediately released for use. Depending on how much memory you have determines the performance boost you get. The closer you are to 2 GB to start, the less Ready Boost seems to help. Memory not in use is wasted memory. Do you see any performance increase? Look beyond just the numbers

On the bottom line Readyboost just isn't worth the bits needed to represent its name in ASCII.

They'd get the benefits of parallel data access because virtual memory seeks would not

As far as Readyboost, forget it, spend the money on RAM. To get Readyboost to work you need a fast flashdrive, which is not much cheaper than another GB of memory. background and using IE, the gauge goes up to 80+%. Do I need to get more memory? Is 1GB just the bare minimum needed to run vista? Thanks to all Don.
