Re: SD Card for ReadyBoost?

After the boot cycle is complete and for after he first 90 seconds the ready
boost card only acts as a cache for virtual memory and does not add to your
main memory capacity at all.
During boot it records the programs you load and then updates the prefetch
file so that the next time the system will boot faster.
Is your card plugged directly into your computer or is it plugged into a
card reader? Mine is plugged directly into my computer and does not have to
be reset after each boot.
