It appears that your drive speed is marginal for ready boost. I had this
happen once using a Ultra SD card whose speed is marginal for ready boost..
So I tried again to configure it while the system was idle otherwise and it
has worked for several months since without problem.

How did you get it to work?

I've had a flash drive running ReadyBoost just fine for a while and then
yesterday noticed that it didn't seem to ever be flashing the LED on the
drive. When I looked at the properties it had started reporting that the
flash drive wasn't fast enough to support ReadyBoost.

I'd be interested in knowing what you did to re-enable yours.

Thanks in advance,

Howard

Ready Boost also provides support for SuperFetch prior to its acting as
cache for the paging file since for the first 90 seconds of boot time it
records the programs used and supplies updates the files used for
SuperFetch.

Yes, ReadyBoost is simply a pagefile cache used for when quick, random
reads are required. But given sufficient RAM, the system will not need
to page, and this is why adding enough RAM eventually makes ReadyBoost
a
moot point.

As for memory prices, I just purchased 2x1GB of Corsair PC-6400 last
week for a grand total of $23 (after rebate). I suppose I could buy a
ReadyBoost rated thumbdrive for that price if I looked around enough,
but I'm not sure I'd use it for anything other than file synch duties
since all my apps would be living in main memory, and the RB stick
would
have nothing to do...
