Default Ready Boost - how and why

Can you use ready boost with SD cards and other memory cards, or is it only
usb devices? I know it's not as good as RAM, but how does it compare? I am
getting a laptop with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, would ready boost increase my speed at
all? What size memory stick would I need if it is dedicated to ready boost?
Thanks.

In my experience, Readyboost is of little or no value on a computer with 2gb
of ram.

Default Ready Boost - how and why

I am using a 2GB Ultra II SD card whose slot is built into my 1 GB Vista 32
laptop and notice an improvement with games that require virtual memory.
