I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (with Service Pack 1) on a fairly new
desktop system. I have 4 GB of RAM and I'm running a quad core Intel
processor (3 GHz) with a Western Digital Raptor 10,000 rpm hard drive.

I already know that I have a fairly fast system, but I'm wondering if
Vista's ReadyBoost might be able to speed up the system even more?

I have a 4 GB jump drive (USB) that I rarely use. I have plugged it into
one of the USB ports and have turned on the ReadyBoost option (to use the
full 4 GB). Thus far, I'm not really seeing too much of an increase in
overall speed. But I could be in correct about this. My perceptions may be
off.

My question is: with more advanced desktop and laptop systems, does
ReadyBoost provide any additional speed/performance advantages?

Thanks!
