Hello,
I am using Vista 64 Home Premium with 8 gb ddr2 ram. I use an 8 gb flash drive formatted NTSF. The Readyboost cash is limitted to 4090 bytes. Why? Should I be able to use the full 8 gb? -- Joel |

Hi Joel,
Max capacity for Readyboost is 4GB. With that much ram, it's unlikely that you will garner much benefit from it anyhow. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Joel" wrote in message ...

I have 8gb ram, and can confirm that using 4gb ready drive DOES give a small boost that is most
noticeable when file managing (icons are there quicker) and browsing net with history and other such stuff. As far as anything major goes, loading games, video rendering etc, very little if any difference. "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote in message ... "Joel" wrote in message ...

Hello,
Thanks motarola2, Rick and Mike, I believe there is a slight improvement opening programs. I was hoping to follow the guidelines of 1 to 1.5 times the ram amount in you pc. So, regardless of 32 or 64 bit operating systems, the 4gb limit is the same. Too bad there is not a way around this limit. -- Joel "Rob" wrote: I have 8gb ram, and can confirm that using 4gb ready drive DOES give a small boost that is most noticeable when file managing (icons are there quicker) and browsing net with history and other such stuff.

While I realize that the following question depends upon nothing more than
pure speculation, I thought I would ask anyway: Any chance that future service packs for Windows Vista will include changes to the 4 GB limitation on ReadyBoost? Possibly boosting its capacity to 8 GB or perhaps even 12 GB? "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote: "Joel" wrote in message ... Hello, I am using Vista 64 Home Premium with 8 gb ddr2 ram.

So let me see if I'm reading this right. I have a 2 GB memory card. I have a 4 GB usb drive. There really isn't any point to me using the 4 GB usb drive as ReadyBoost? -- shortmantuff |
