Probably many of you who use Memories Flash USB (Memory sticks), after connecting the stick to your PC, will appear in a box (AutoPlay), a list of several options…. (See the picture below.)
The last option in the list is called "Speed up my system using Windows ReadyBoost"If you click on this option, a box will open in which you have the option to use USB Stick-Right additional RAM memory. All you have to do is tick the box next to ”Use this device“.” –> Apply –> OK.
If you have a 2GB USB memory and free space, only 260MB, Windows Vista will use only the free space (ie 260MB), space that will no longer be used for data storage. Once this option is activated, a file will appear on the stick "ReadyBoost.sfcache"260MB. (In my case). To increase the performance of the operating system, it would be recommended not to have data stored on the USB memory and use it only as an external supplement of RAM.
For a system running bone Windows Vista, this option is welcome (on Windows XP, there is no option), being known that Vista requires a lot of system resources (RAM + CPU) especially when running with Aero graphics interface.
P.S. In order to use a USB memory as a RAM supplement, it must be the ReadyBoost USB 2.0 (most that are found on the market are USB 2.0 ReadyBoost).
