I get the option to "Speed up my system using Readyboost" when i put a
(4g) SD card into my computer, but then when i click it, there is no
readyboost tab.

It is my understanding that I have to enable this in the systems.sfc,
buuuut....

I have tried cmd prompting sfc/scannow, and it tells me "You must be an
administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc
utility."

Note: I am not trying to remote connect. I am trying to enable this
locally on this laptop on this administrator account.

Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

Please help!

Open up the command prompt as administrator:
right-click its icon in All Programs Accessories, and select "Run as
Administrator".

Readiboost ONLY works with USB drives

A swing and a miss. First, it's called "Readyboost", and second, it
works on a variety of flash devices and isn't restricted to the USB
interface.

My laptop's card reader is mounted on the PCIe bus and is Readyboost
capable, for example.

Personally i would`nt bother with readyboost.
I found it actually slows down the Pc with its constant data thrashing out
the hard disk and usb pen drive.
Now i have disabled it together with indexing and modifying the
Superprefetch in the Registry the Pc is so much more responsive and less
noisy.!!!
Ok it might take an extra second to load up an App but at least its not
causing bottlenecks when running games or doing other intensive tasks, plus
i just dont like all that disk activity going on, it does my head in.!!!!!!!
All these Microsoft wonder ideas to speed up the Pc actually cause it to
slow down (at least in my case) and burn out the hard disk in the
process.!!!!
Anyone else agree. ?????
Regards,
Graham....

I've never found ReadyBoost to slow down the computer, but I also
recommend against it. If you have 2GB or more of RAM, the little it
might do for you is so slight as to be almost unnoticeable.

And if you have less than 2GB of RAM, you would do much better to
spend your money on upgrading your RAM to 2GB than on buying a device
for ReadyBoost use.

So, in general, I also recommend *against* using ReadyBoost.

Vista will not utilize ReadyBoost if the read/write specs of the device are
not equal to or exceed those of the HD - performance increase depends
primarily on type of HD action - sequential read/writes are directed to the
ReadyBoost device and sequential to the HD.

ReadyBoost also performs another little mentioned function in concert with
the OS and defragmentation. ReadyBoost assists Vista in monitoring and
recording usage over a period of time - during defragmentation the
information is used to relocate files to increase boot time.

Doesn't Vista do that without ReadyBoost?
