I've tried FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS, but don't see much
difference (except for available space!)



How much RAM do you have?

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 recommend *against* using ReadyBoost.
