Default ReadyBoost crap shoot

Just sharing an experience.

These ReadyBoost usb thumb drives seem to be a real hit and miss thing. I
just bought a Patriot 16GB Xporter XTBoost usb thumb drive.

I tried it on one computer running Vista Ultimate x64 and the machine just
kept trying to find a driver for it but never succeeded in mounting it.

I tried it on another computer running VU x86 and it came right up and let
me configure it for ReadyBoost.

I then booted into a VU x64 installation on that same computer and it
configured it for storage fine but failed it for ReadyBoost.

Go figure!

As closely as I can tell, it just depends on the mobo and quality of the usb
ports.
