I'm a computer engineer, and at my firm we are currently working with the latest versions of Vista. Vista at this stage has deffinately come along way. But on the developer side of things there is still some more work needed to be done before vista is released... Just to add to the conversation, i have a 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Titanium With U3 Technology. Vista Accepts the performance specifications of this device but no increase in performance is noticed, i've just received this device and haven't done any tinkering, but i'll keep you posted if anything changes...

| Welcome too. I have been using a 4 GB Apacer for quite a while now, and I notice nothing. But, on the other hand I have 2 GB of RAM and VM with a max of 2 GB. I am thinking that one is not likely to notice the effect of Ready Boost/Super Fetching unless short of RAM and HD VM space.

You would be correct with that assumption, readyboost is designed for use with systems running low amounts of memory, only at this level will a performance increase be significant enough to notice... Also please note that readyboost is designed to work with the following ratio: 2.5:1 The ratio is indicative of the amount of USB flash storage required in comparison to the available amount of system ram. Basically if you have 512MB of ram, readyboost will perform best with around 1280MB of USB Flash Storage, again the speed requirements must also be met for this feature to work. the break down being: 512 x2 + 256 which equates to the .5 remaining.

| Honestly cant see the point in ReadyBoost. Any vista capable pc should really have atleast 1 GB of RAM and if it doesnt then instead of buying a USB drive how about buying a DIMM. No matter how good the premise, the USB sticks wont out-perform real RAM and yes, fine, if you need the functionality of the USB stick aswell then it would be useful. But I need PROOF! And there just isn't any to substantiate the claim  Especially if thats the ratio you need, my 2GB needs a 5GB stick? Since when will i ever need 7GB? But more to the point if I ever need 7GB of RAM why would I only have 2GB of it in system?Sorry to ramble but I am really bored at work crabby |

| All true crabby, in both of your last two posts. I have heard that there are some VM functions that are handled faster via Ready Boost/Super Fetchng than via one's hard drive. But, even if true, the speed difference shouldn't be noticeable.
