I can't use my Thumb drive for Ready Boost. I got an error message that the thumb drive's performance is not enough for Ready Boost.

I did some reading online, and found out that I need a thumb drive with at least 2.5MB/s read & write. I benchmarked my thumb drive using HD Tach, and found that it's average speed 7.3MB/s and burst speed is 7.7MB/s is which is above the minimum read / write requirement.

It's a 1GB Pen Drive thumb drive with around 902MB free space.

How can I enable ReadyBoost?

edit:

I may know why. My thumb drive is in FAT format. I just read that ReadyBoost need FAT32 / NTFS formated drive.  doh.gif

If u wan to use Ready boost, go and buy those thumbdrive with logo Ready Boost. I believe Apacer 1GB Ready Boost selling for Rm70 only at Sri Computer

My question is, do you install any antivirus? I think many of us here have AV installed, and thus should be brontok free, no matter if it can infect vista or not.





yes,i'm currently using the "trial" norton that is given together with the system..
also had a few "attempted attacks" twarted whilst online a few days ago.. 

im planning on using the norton till the free updates dries up then move on to AVG,since it's free


Tried to install NAV2007 in Vista but not compatible..

QUOTE
by the way, my new comp which runs vista starts up and shuts down very slowly....does it happen to you guys as well?


Dun think so. It shut and start very fast. Only After installtion a program it shut down a little slower. But the next time, it will be back to normal. Faster than Xp a lot..Hehe

i think it scan idle processes and threads and cache it to free up ram.

BTW, for antivirus, i use Smantec Antivirus. work since vista beta->rc->retail
it's not the same as norton antivirus though. the interface just plain ol win98 era cuz it's meant for corporate use. but at least it do its job properly laugh.gif

planning to get a Vista ultimate, but i wanna use the 64bit version of it. i look around but didn seem to find any 64bit version of it. so i wonder, if i forge out that big sum of money to get my new OS, will i get the usual x86 and x64 in the same box? really confuse how Microsoft market their new OS now. rclxub.gif
