Irenic with your hardware spec, do you notice any improvement at all when you use the readyboost feature? Any difference between 512MB vs 1 GB vs 2 GB?
Plan to get a flash drive for readyboost purpose

so just want to get more opinions.

Just be careful. The current batch of flashdrive is pretty slow. Read reviews that 2 of the fastest thumbdrive for VISTA is ADATA PD7(not found here, I think, never seen it in LYP pricelist) and a new Kingston thumbdrive which is especially enhanced for VISTA.
Don't just buy any thumbdrive or you'll be dissapointed. maybe wait a little while and get one that is fast enuff for VISTA.

Recently, i just read one of users' review from newegg.com regarding Windows Vista 32bit. some info to discuss:
1. For gaming user:Vista does load up very large memory space. And when running games application, the memory available become very low.
2. DirectX 10 is still in Beta stage which mean there is possibility there some bugs within the application.
3. For user with no gaming desire: Vista loaded start up program much more faster than XP did.
4. Vista is very interactive and easy to use.
5. A matter here is that, when to to switch to Vista.
(1) I think you must understand how VISTA works. VISTA works very differently from XP. It'll try to grab everything for the O/S and then allocate accordingly. But i don't see any difference when i run BFME2, almost same amount used about 600+MB or so in VISTA and XP.
There's a parameter showing free blocks or memory, something like that in the Vista Task Manager and it always show very low free blocks. This doesn't mean ur PC is out of memory, VISTA is simply doing it's job and make sure your memory get used, not sitting there being "free" and goyang kaki.

(2) So far run only 3 games...so can't really comment got bug or not, but so far so good.
