How does Ready Boost Option work... I know how to activate or deactivate it... but I want to know wat to what makes the faster machine?

I have win7 hav, double heart 2 (2.6 GHz), 2 GB of ram, 80 GB hard drive...

ReadyBoost uses Flash Player as a cache for random reads from the hard disk. Written on the hard drive is copied to the Flash drive. When random play is issued, the flash instead of the hard disk drive data will be read.  As there is no mechanical movement, it will be faster.

As you have 2 GB of RAM, which will be also used for the disk cache, I don't expect to see much difference.

This article explains how this works in Vista; the principle is the same in Windows 7 with the 4 GB, a limitation of the device thrown
