When readyboost is off the graph (performance tab, Memory) showing memory in
use shows 877 and then when it is enabled it shows 929 MB in use. Free is
showing 7MB, Why do I only want 7MB free? I was under the impression with
readyboost it would free up memory thus taken my 877MB in use and dropping it
to 6XX in use? Please help me to understand?

Thanks
