Re: Using a Flash USB thumb drive to speed up performance?

What ReadyBoost does is that it puts your pagefile onto the flashdrive
as it is faster than your HD. It does work pretty good, depending on how
much RAM you have. If your PC hits the HD a lot for paging (usually for
1GB of system RAM or less) then you will notice a difference. If you
have 2GB or more then you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference.

It does work great, though!
