anyone try it > that day i bought 8gb thumb drive and i saw 1 article said ready boost can speed up the pc ,since is new thumb drive and have alot of space ,i put 4gb for ready boost ,but after that i feel that nothing different in compare with previous



actually how ready boost working actually

it use ur pendrive as additional memory so u can work faster.. after having 2g RAM, readyboost does not show much difference

Here's more detailed information about Readyboost, I never used it:

system with 512 MB of RAM (the minimum for Windows Vista) can see significant gains from ReadyBoost.[6] In one test case, ReadyBoost sped up an operation from 11.7 seconds to 2 seconds (increasing physical memory from 512 MB to 1 GB reduced it to 0.8 seconds)


only 512ram can see lor

well, ReadyBoost doesn't increase the RAM score in WEI...

I tried it before, it needs to wait quite a long time for the readyboost to work after you plugged your pendrive. Hard drive light will blink rapidly after you start the readyboost and you need to wait it back to normal then it will start the real boost.
The more size you set, the longer you have to wait.

And ya, 2GB ram can only feels a little, almost like none. But better if you get more RAM coz readyboost is like for low RAM use only....
once you got more ram like 4GB, then you'll feel that readyboost hinder the system performance.

That is what i experinced.

i know ,wat i wan is the outcome lar

It does work , if you have like a gigabyte of RAM. You would notice that the system preforms much more snappier

Try using Firefox and open 15-20 tabs

well, at least for ReadyBoost, some ppl claim that battery life is prolonged somewat... since there's less HDD activities with ReadyBoost...

seems kinda useless, thought of getting a 4GB thumbdrive to supplement my 4GB RAM system, make it total of 8GB

well, i tried b4..does not work with system that has 4gb..but if less, heck...it's freaking good imo..u can get a 4gb(oops,thumb drive) i meant now for like 35 maybe?as for scores in WEI..only 0.1 ...lol...btw, not all thumbdrive supports ready boost.

for 4GB should be good enough already, blazing fast Vista i have now

my sister using PC Vista Home Basic with 512MB RAM.
that computer really laggy and dead slow.
then i used Ready Boost with 2GB thumb drive, to see whether it will have any effect but almost no difference in performance.
now i bought 2GB RAM module for her and now her PC is flying (snappier and faster).

theorically Ready Boost can speed up your computer by reducing the time computer assessing the hard disk
but in real life Ready Boost is almost useless.

if you have extra money in your pocket better buy more RAMs to speed up your computer.

i dun use firefox ,i use apple safari ,juz tried open 20tab for youtube ,no problem wor ,between ,using 2.5gb ram now

battery life prolong ?nolor ,same

hahaha ,if u got 4gb ram ,u still neeed ready boost ,are u sure ?

agree

teah
for 512mb ram using vista ,i understand and know it is damm slow

better shell out extra RM for RAM than cheap thumbdrive, just get it real. Thumbdrive is used for data storing, not for prefetch or something like that, not even worth it...

if your computer have only 512mb RAM, you should be using XP in the first place.
unless you add more RAM.
2gb of RAM is recommended for Vista.

ya i agree, its not worth buy a pendrive just to boost your Vista.
pendrive is for store files for an easy transfer.

thumbdrive is blardy cheap nowadays though, i bought Sandisk Micro U3 for RM32 today, 4GB

This rdyboost can help ur system but u cant feel the differences obviously while u have a lot of RAM (2Gb) in ur PC. So, no worry.

kingmax super stick 8gb i saw RM60 today

Readyboost will take half of ur flash drive space. I think it doesn't do much different but the thruth is it do.
