Sam - good question. Readyboost will "recognize" up to 4 gig via an
external device. You can tell if both are functioning by the LED "action"
of each device - flashing means device is being utilized.

Superfetch will utilize the ReadyBost device for non-sequential read/writes
and the HD for sequential activity - meaning that the LED avtivity will
depend upon type of HD activity.

BTW - you cannot access a ReadyBoost device - the data is encrypted for
protection if the device is removed before data is cleared - device can be
removed at any time without loss of data from the HD since data sent to the
device is a "copy" of the original data - go figure!
