| | Re: sandisk memory & superfetch; minimum requirements? Hi with the Beta2 this works fine now,. in the beta 2, windows do a quick test to verify the speed of the device, then use it or not. I have a 2Gb memory stick which is not used because "too" slow, and another memory (from my camera) which is recognised and used by Windows. the 2 devices are connected through the same USB connection, so the difference is linked to the speed of the memory himself. My 2Gb sandisk is too slow and my compact flash is good enoguh for vista.

| | Re: sandisk memory & superfetch; minimum requirements? It isn't completely related to perceived read-write speed. It's access speed-related. I have a brand new Corsair Flash Voyager, which ranks among the fastest sustained R/W speeds, but SUCKS in access (seek) time. Where other thumbdrives have 1-2 ms, this otherwise FAST Corsair has 20 ms, hence unusable for fast caching of small portions of memory. Go figure.

| | RE: sandisk memory & superfetch; minimum requirements? I have a Verbatim 1 GB I bought 3 months ago, and Vista states it does not meet the speed requirements for SpeedFetch. What the heck Microsoft! I think this is a conspiracy of Microsoft and the PC makers to force everyone to update their computers and accessories in the next year. |

| | RE: sandisk memory & superfetch; minimum requirements? Remember: you are using this device to speed up your computer. If it is not fast enough, it might actually hamper performance. I tried to use a 256MB camera chip and apparently the space on the chip is 235MB, and is, therefore, not usable for ReadyBoost.

| | Re: sandisk memory & superfetch; minimum requirements? Having just installed Beta 2 (Public) I would like to use my USB memory stick for Ready Boost/Super fetch. I have been unable to find any referance to Super Fetch or Ready boost. None of the things mentioned in earlyer posts appear to be any help. I dont see any options in the propertys for the device or get any option to turn this feature on when I insert the stick. Any pointer would be usful... Regards Stephen Morrish...
