Vista - NVIDIA GeFource 6800 GS and ReadyBoost

I am using ForceWare version 96.85 and the NVIDIA control Panel version
1.3.9.1. I have dual monitors connected to an ASUS motherboard with AMD
Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processsor 4400. I am using Vista x64.

When I use ReadyBoost, I get a blue screen at startup. Vista tells me that
this is a driver issue: http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=293078

Also, I have extremely high Interrupts being generated (it consumes 70% of
one of the cores on the CPU). I believe this also comes from the graphics
card.

How do I disable hardware acceleration using the NVIDIA control panel? Other
suggestions to get better stability? I can't have 70% CPU utilization on 1
core all of the time, it slows down my PC too much.

How is your performance with only one monitor?
Are the 2 montors in clone mode or extended desktop mode? I ask since
supporting 2 different resolution monitos over differend interfaces could
completly consume the graphic processor of your graphics card especially if
you are using HD resolutions.

I've never used just one monitor so I can't say about performance.

They are in extended desktop mode. In the NVIDIA Control Panel they call it
Configured independently from each other (Dualview). They are both standard
analog monitors. I have them set at 1024x768 resolution, 32 bit color and
75Hz refresh rate on both monitors.

I was suggesting that you try using one at a time and see what effect it has
on performance

Although the referenced knowledge base article talks about a display driver
causing a driver loop problem it may actually be the USB driver being used
for Ready Boost that is looping

I tried just one monitor. I couldn't see any difference in performance. The
CPU utilization was approximately the same as always.

I did get the same type of startup error (as I did with the ReadyBoost
attached) when I switched back from one monitor to two and rebooted. I guess
the ReadyBoost device just causes the error to be repeatable.

Then I don't think that the Video drivers have anythning to do with what is
a USB2 drivers problem for ReadyBoost on your system But the only KB article
so far only talkes about how the errore message can be caused by video
drivers so is misleading in that it does not discuss what other drivers can
cause the problem.
