this is the realm of 3 gig ram, 2 gig was the sweet spot for WINXP, so Vista will surely exceed that. lol

but i am not sure since vista comes in many different versions.

Vista actually has been cracked about 1 month ago. Not a crack in the truest sense, as you can't activate your windows, but you also never need to activate it...
No need bt, just google...

btw, this is just for informational purpose, buy original!!!

AFAIK, nero already rolled-out VISTA-READY version. but size is 200mb. Im downloading it now.

Btw, anyone use SuperFetch aka Readyboost? How much improvement gained?
*
I'm using Nero Lite if not mistaken. Size is way less than 200MB but I can't confirm which version yet as I'm currently in office.

Anyway Superfetch is not Readyboost. Regarding the improment, I've read comment that one guy can feel the notices by using a 4GB flash drive even when he's got 2GB of RAM.

I've not tested this feature yet as I can't seem to find my desired flash drive. biggrin.gif

I have a question,

I've already place an order for an express upgrade from Acer, but I didn't put my'State/Province' there because there is no textfield for it, just the City and the Country,

will it have a problem with the shipping later?

Thank you.

Beware of upgrade pack though, it must be done under a system with XP installed.

But workaround exists

Added on February 6, 2007, 1:31 pmReadyboost

ReadyBoost is the name of a disk caching technology included with Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. It aims to make computers running Windows Vista more responsive by using flash memory on a USB 2.0 drive, SD Card, Compact Flash, or other form of flash memory, in order to boost system performance.

Using ReadyBoost-capable flash memory devices for caching allows Windows Vista to service random disk reads with performance that is typically 8-10 times faster than random reads from traditional hard drives. This caching is applied to all disk content, not just the page file or system DLLs. Flash devices are typically slower than the hard drive for sequential I/O, so to maximize performance, ReadyBoost includes logic to recognize large, sequential read requests and then allows these requests to be serviced by the hard drive.[1]

When a compatible device is plugged in, the Windows AutoPlay dialog offers an additional option to use it to speed up the system; an additional "ReadyBoost" tab is added to the drive's properties dialog where the amount of space to be used can be configured.[2] According to Jim Allchin, for future releases of Vista ReadyBoost will be able to use spare RAM on other networked Vista PCs.[3]

For a device to be compatible and useful it must conform to the following requirements:

The capacity of the USB device must be at least 256 MB
The USB device must support USB 2.0
The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s read speeds for 4 kB random reads spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write speeds for 512 kB random writes spread uniformly across the device.
The device must have at least 235 MB of free space
The initial release of ReadyBoost supports one device.
