readyboost

We all know that ReadyBoost in Vista was a major fail. The feature was much improved in Windows 7 but I still don't think it's all that it's shaped up to be. But there's an alternative. eBoostr is about the only other program available that does what ReadyBoost does. And it does it faster...

Hi Peoples I was wondering if someone here may have some advise on a particular problem that I am having. My readyboost cache is continually re-created everytime I reboot my laptop. Its on a 4GB SD Card and I dedicate the entire SD card to the readyboost cache. I noticed that there was...

I took months of convincing the most stubborn of XP users but I finally got my buddy to try Windows 7. He had it up and running for a few hours and he loved it until...his power went out. He couldn't boot up and windows 7 couldn't repair startup, he tried every option and they all failed. He's...

With regard to Win7 setup for an SSD. How to check the status of Superfetch/ReadyBoost/ Prefetch? I see in properties of my 2 SSDs under "policies" tab a setup for "Write -caching policy". Is this relevant?

I just learned about this. I used a 4gig Cruiser drive that supposedly allocated about 2500mb of memory to speed the system up. With 1gig of memory in the system dose that mean it should be working like it has 3.5gigs of memory? Any good or bad comments on this redyboost option?

I am running Windows 7 on a Dell mini 12. ( Intel atom processor 1.6ghz, 1gb RAM) I am have been toying around with Windows 7 RC build 7100 since it came out just a week after I got my mini and it allows me to use a 4GB SDHC for readyboost but using the Mini's defualt Win XP would not. But...

I've got my partitions all ready. Gonna reinstall Win 7 as a dual boot but I didn't like 7022, especially since they took ReadyBoost out of that build. So I'd like to know.... WHAT is the next scheduled released build? WHEN will it be around? (Bonus question: How far along is MS atm? They at...

Hi all, I really enjoyed readyboost feature on build 7000. I'm using 2GB of RAM and readyboost gave a good performance boost. I upgraded my system to build 7022, it's working a bit better but I cannot find readyboost on USB drive properties. I really like to have the performance boost...

For some reason, Windows7b ReadyBoost fails my 8GB Cruzer micro (SanDisk) that is rated for ReadyBoost. Yet, my 1GB Kingston SD card that is not rated for ReadyBoost passes the test. I would like to warn that using the SD card for ReadyBoost causes Windows to totaly freez up, a few min after...

Have both win7 beta 1 distros - 32 & 64. 3+ year old laptop. amd 64 2.2 gig, dual core. 2 gigs ram - machine maxes out at 2 :-( 4 gig readyboost flash stick - if that matters.... Will 64 be worth installing? With only 2 gigs ram max, will it be any better than using 32? Any...

I am currently using Win7 Ultimate64; When I remove a CD or DVD from the drive, several minutes later I will receive the following dialog box (msnmsgr.exe), "there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk in drive d." The only way I can remove it is by going into Task Manager (and ending...

I've got ReadyBoost up and running on a 2 gig USB flash drive. I'm not sure how it works or what it does, but it is working !!

It looks like you can use multiple flash drives for Readyboost. I am using a 4GB and a 2GB both are Readyboost enabled. Windows Vista would not let that happen. If you tried adding a new one, it took the new one and deleted the old one and vice versa. Try it!

I just found out about the readyboost function in vista but after searching on the web for two days I have still not found my answer. I am running windows vista home premium. I have a usb stick that meets the requirements for readyboost, sorry I cant remember the brand of it right now...
