Thank's y eye. And, there is a ton of additional info about SF and RB on this site. Do a search if you are interested.

And, here is a good, organized thread having to do with flash drives and ReadyBoost: http://thevistageeks.com/forums/inde...showtopic=1389

The URL works for me. But, sure if you can't view as things are, then why not sign up so you can view if you are interested.

I was just trying to be helpful. You seem to have some attitude in your post. Am I correct? If so, then it is neither needed nor appropriate.

And, I am having a bit of trouble with what your search problem is. Please explain, and maybe I can help. We seldom do stickies here, and I wouldn't have the power to do so anyway.

If so then I will say that you are wrong. Try to visualise a request for communication...

I find your demand that I be subjected to solicitation in order to communicate in this forum about a subject raised in this forum to be offensive and out of place. I will not give you permission to use my name for any commercial venture. and that is no attitude...

You are way off base here.

Nope, we both are done with it. I suspect there were misunderstandings on both sides.

Here's some info about those features: Vista includes performance-enhancing features called Windows PC Accelerators to maintain PCs consistent performance. These features are called SuperFetch, ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive.

SuperFetch is enabled in all versions of Vista. It’s designed to maintain optimal memory content based on how you use your PC. It analyzes how you use your PC for several weeks to decide the content that should be present in system memory at any given time. SuperFetch also allows Vista to detect and avoid memory usage patterns that could push higher priority content out of memory.

ReadyBoost uses capable flash devices to extend the disk caching capabilities of Vista’s main memory. You can use USB 2.0 flash drives, Secure Digital (SD) cards, and CompactFlash cards. Using these devices, Vista can access data approximately 8 to 10 times faster than from your hard drive. Before the data is copied to the external device, it’s first copied to the hard drive, allowing you to remove any of the devices without any interruptions of system services or loss of data. Also, for security purposes, the data is encrypted for use only on the PC where the device is connected.

ReadyDrive is a technology that supports the use of hybrid hard disk drives (H HDD). The hybrid HDD combines the low-power consumption and speed of flash media with the large storage and low cost of magnetic drives. This minimizes dependency on the hard drive for frequently accessed sectors and speed up performance. The recommended cache size is at least 128MB; however hard disk manufacturers could easily incorporate 4GB or more cache size.

Yes, and check this ReadyBoost thread out: http://www.vistababble.com/forums/ot...st-thread.html. It provides links to some informative and useful ReadBoost threads.
