Readyboost works on fast memory card & thumbdrive only.
Tested almost 20 thumbdrive and 50 memory cards, only half of them (mostly branded) works.

What i know is there will be ppl frm Ms malaysia as well as temps who are trained in Vista products. So pretty much there will be ppl who knows about vista when u in the launch event.

I pretty assure it works for most USB 2.0 thumb drives.

well.. readyboost can boost your vista to be smoother and faster when open a program

but how smooth and how fast it can boost?
open wlm8.1 about 1sec is consider fast?

my pc has 2gb ddr400 ram and tried the readyboost, i could not feel any obvious increase in performance
i also heard that 2gb and above.. will not show the power of readyboost as 2gb is enough for vista to run smoothly ..

i think the readyboost is to help those system with 1gb and below to run smoother in vista??

Meh, new thumbdrive cost less than RM70 for a 2GB drive. can buy bundle nowadays

Try turnoff pagefile, let the OS uses only physical RAM as err... RAM, reboot PC, and then test again with ReadyBoost.
U will notice significant performance increase.

really??
how it work??
my thumb really slow....transfer speed only 12m read 6m write
it slower than HDD still can boost up performance for vista

Wish all Vista user can share which software is working in Vista..List down at the 1st post if possible lor
Microsoft Office 2003 should be working rite?

Good review . But maybe you can try to elaborate more. For example, you mentioned that you encountered problem with your D-link usb wireless adapter, further description might be helpful and maybe you can also provide what you had done to rectify the problem so maybe users who may encounter similar problem might be able to solve the problem in the same way as you.

Yes, that's the main point with readyboost, provide smoother interaction without the need to get more RAM, but with RAM prices as of now, I think upgrading to more RAM is a better choice.

so can anyone confirm with me the price?
thx

Hi guys, this came up from anandtech just now :

http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2917

salient points below

Windows Vista Ram Requirements
"We then upgraded the Vista machine to 3GB and ran the test again; thanks to faster application load times and intelligent prefetching, Word started in 1.31 seconds. If you thought that 2GB was the sweet spot for Windows XP, chances are 3GB will be the new minimum for you under Vista."

Ready Boost Analysis
"ReadyBoost makes a very significant impact on performance here. With 4GB of flash dedicated to ReadyBoost, we saw an increase in performance of over 47%. However for the cost of a 4GB flash drive you could probably upgrade to 1GB of memory which results in an even larger performance gain. That said, if you don't want to open up your system, ReadyBoost does actually work."

vista home basic - rm305
vista home premium - rm395
vista business - rm495
vista ultimate - rm680
