Nice to know. I noted their ad in today's paper and was headed there to
get the 2GB model expressly for ReadyBoost use. Memorex makes crappy
recordable media' I guess the same is true of their thumb drives.
Where I live, there's a chain called Inkstop that has a Lexar 2GB drive
advertised for $30, so I might try that.

BTW, from what I read, unless you have more than 2 GB of RAM, there's no
use getting a ReadyBoost thumb drive that's larger than 2GB. Newegg has
a number of thumb drives that claim to be "ReadyBoost compatible," but
none is inexpensive.
