Vista has provision for this but can it be done somehow in XP?

Thanks but what is a "ready boost compatible flash drive"?

[TheNNS]

it's a flash drive that will work with readyboost. not just any drive will work, it needs to meet certain specifications, at least in vista.

I have a question reguarding this vista feature,why not just increase the swap file size on you hard drive, instead of using a slower usb drive to add move memory.

I bought a compatible flash drive and installed it as per the instructions. My computer seems faster but I cannot find anything that positively tells me my RAM has increased.

flash memory is WAY faster than a hard drive. that's why they're trying to make flash hard drives, because they'd be really fast.

Can anyone answer my question in number 7? I want to know how to tell if the flash drive memory is working. The usual things still just show my original memory cards.

It shows as running in Applications but does not show in Performance ! I am none the wiser.

You have piggybacked a very old thread.....Nov 27th, 2007
Please start your own thread and explain where outside you want this memory.
