Ready Boost & Memory Stick ?
Yes, I use a 4 GB sandisk cruzer micro. There hasn't been that
noticeable of a difference since I am already maxed out with memory but I can tell it is working. Are you having troubles with it? Wonderman wrote: Has anyone had any luck using a Memory Stick ( 2GB and up ) in Vista ReadyBoost ? |

Ready Boost & Memory Stick ?
I have a SanDisk 2GB memory stick that works fine - well it registers its
use for Ready boost. Personally I find ready boost useless if you have 2GB of system RAM. It's fine for systems with 512 MB to 1GB RAM but over the 1GB the performance is negligible. At 2GB system RAM you can't tell the difference. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Ready Boost & Memory Stick ?
Sorry all... I should have been more clear. I am looking to use a
proprietary format Sony type Memory Stick in lieu of an SD card or USB etc. "Wonderman" wrote in message ... Has anyone had any luck using a Memory Stick ( 2GB and up ) in Vista ReadyBoost ? |

Has anyone had any luck using a Memory Stick ( 2GB and up ) in Vista ReadyBoost ? Sony MemStick *is* USB. The memory device should be noted as ReadyBoost compatible. If it not so noted, it likely will not work. Q |

Ready Boost & Memory Stick ?
Hello Wonderman,
I have a Sony Vaio with a builtin memory stick card reader, and I'm using a 8Gb Memory Stick Pro Mark2, and it works just fine. I also use it as secondary scratch disk for Photoshop for the other 4GB of freespace =P I did notice that some apps are faster (and it seems to be using the card as the light flashes). 2Gb Ram + 4Gb ReadyBoost The reboot doesn't seem to use the ReadyBoost at all (I don't even now if its supposed, but it would be great to have all the files of boot on it...)

Yes, as long as it supports the speeds needed by ReadyBoost, you can use it
with no issues. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.
