HDD wouldn't make it for ReadyBoost... latency is too high...

if HDD can do it, ReadyBoost wouldn't even exist in the first place...

i believe it's only pagefile in the case of XP...

but in Vista, for ReadyBoost it needs to fufill this requirement: 3.5MB/s for 4KB random reads and 2.5MB/s for 512KB random writes uniformly across the device

HDD will never meet this requirement...
