  Hello

  'ram 2 GB'

  You have too much RAM for Readyboost work effectively.

  ReadyBoost is designed for machines that have between 500 MB - 1 GB RAM

  The physical RAM you have installed, less you will notice an improvement using Readyboost.

  This is a very good tutorial on how to configure Readyboost:

• How to use Readyboost instead of paging fie?

  I connected the USB and that it be used for Readyboost.

  But when my computer is failing on the memory it uses the page file instead of using the space to readyboost.

  How can I use readyboost instead of the swap file to be used as virtual memory.

  In addition to what Gerry C J Cornell and Palcouk said,

  If your system could use the storage as Ready Boost, when you plug the USB device, AutoPlay jump upward and you will see the options under:
  General options:
     Speed up my system
      using Windows ReadyBoost.

  If you don't see this option, your system can not we the as a Ready Boost device USB storage device.

• 13 portable flow: using ReadyBoost

  My USB is ready boost compatible however, when I go to properties and click the ReadyBoost tab, it won't let me use it.

  It indicates that the computer has is fast enough when he is actually very slow. Also, I think he should let me decided to make this decision.

  I don't think that you can do.

• Impossible to use readyboost when a 4 GB flash card in a toshiba satellite with a unit of SS 128 GB

  You can use a readyboost drive SS?

  ReadyBoost works no matter what type of hard drive installed. However, not all removable USB drives are ReadyBoost compatible.  See the TechNet documentation where the limitations are discussed here:

• cannot use external hard drive 1 TB for readyboost

  can I use my 1 TB WD external hard drive (fat32) for readyboost... I have win 7 home premium (64-bit) & 2 GB of RAM right now I get a message saying that this device (1 TB drive) cannot be used for readyboost... but I can easily use readyboost when I insert my 4GB kingston USB...

  To see the true performance increases you'd be better by upgrading the amount of RAM you have. I am surprised that you have Windows 64 bit with only 2 GB of RAM...

• "This device cannot be used for readyboost.

  Hey guys, as you can see the image below... I bought a new Kingston 8 GB DataTraveler® 101 and I want to ReadyBoost, but it says "this device cannot be used for readyboost"... format of the file system is FAT32...
  "ReadyBoost is not activate because the service responsible for ReadyBoost (Sysmain) has been disabled on this computer." An administrator can turn on service Sysmain.' = I can't find Sysmain service. :(

  I have 4 USB and not everything can use readyboost...
  I can't find any solution for this problem... Well, hope that the microsoft team can help. :)

  Then ready boost will give you NO increase in performance at all.

  ReadyBoost is designed for computers with 1 GB or less RAM, who have no possibility to increase...

• Pavilion dv6000 PCMCIA use

  I have the machine in the subject, with an Intel core duo processor and upgraded to Win7. The upgrade was very good so it's performance, I think it could be better. In the near future I'll replace the hard drive with an ssd.

  This laptop has a PCMCIA slot I used for nothing, so... Is there a particularly good recommended card which would contribute to this pavilion perform better or provide a useful feature?

  In recent days, gather more information and looking for options, that's what I found:

  * The slot is actually a form of 54mm Expresscard, but accepts the small 34mm; It is good because it allows a 32-bit data transfer faster than standard PCMCIA, which was 16-bit. It is important to know what protocol is used to map and avoid USB one, because it is the slowest.

  * There are ExpressCard cards for almost any kind of connection with various functions, which include TV tuners, video capture, card readers, etc.

  * A card Expresscard SSD can be used for the storage or Readyboost (up to 32 GB per connection). Info Windows, Readyboost works as if have one more big main disk with more space used for the process. Supposedly you can use a card Expresscard SSD OS drive, leaving the disk for storage; Keep in mind that Windows 7 to 80 GB more.

  This is very interesting, and what you find is helpful, unless you are interested in improving the performance, like me. Unfortunately, a memory or a storage Expresscard is one of the most expensive, they are more expensive than a real SSD; unless it uses the USB protocol, but it is too slow.

  ReadyBoost is limited to 32 GB, using a card Expresscard apparently is so logical. But Windows says that if you have a real SSD as drive, he can not use Readyboost. so, at best, a mixed use with a moderate performance increase. Given that some SSD brands are already less than $1 / GB, what would be the best use for your money?

  I thought that Windows saw an Expresscard memory as more ram, but I found no information about this use; I'll ask Microsoft and suggest that an update of Windows provides for such use. Maybe it's not possible, because the RAM sticks have specific operations, but people mix sticks, and sometimes they work. However, it should be a matter of software and, perhaps, a BIOS update that would accept years SSD or sustainable Expresscard, as RAM memory. For me, it would be the best solution for increased performance; Imagine, our 4 GB machines, suddenly jump 36 GB!

  Thus so 2 options:

  * Unless Microsoft or HP provides updates for function of ram, the best option for the money would be to replace the hard drive with the desired SSD and use Expresscard housing for something else.

  Or

  * If you don't want to do a "deep" surgery, get a 32 GB Expresscard with the faster protocol and use with Readyboost.

• Windows Vista Readyboost Puzzle

  Hello everyone. I have a bit of a puzzle on Windows Vista Readyboost.
  I have a windows 7 PC and a friend has vista.
  I tried readyboost using two USB keys, a 4 GB stick and half-full 8 GB stick vacuum.
  It seems that Windows 7, I am allowed to use more than 4 GB I break in two sticks.
  It will work for vista from my friend as well? Also, is it possible for me to be able to use readyboost
  on a stick with capacities of 4 GB?
  I've heard several rumors that you can by formatting in a different format, but
  I want to assure you of one of these three methods before recommending my friend to buy something.
  1. buy two 4 GB sticks and devote two to readyboost.
  2 buy 1 8 GB stick and format so I can devote to readyboost.
  Generally, I would like to make the second, but I am happy to recommend 1 if necessary.
  IMPORTANT: I need this works with a SD Card (Flash Memory Card).
  Thanks for your help, please reply as soon as POSSIBLE.
  See you soon,.

  Hello

  ReadyBoost is designed for computers that use only a small amount of physical RAM; about 512 MB - 1 GB, not for computers that use already 2-3-4 GB of RAM.

  The physical RAM more you have, the less difference you will notice with ReadyBoost.

  Hey darmentrout

   
  You must make sure that the flash player you are using is compatible

  Activating Windows ReadyBoost

  To start using Windows ReadyBoost, it's easier than plugging a ReadyBoost compatible flash drive in the USB port on your Vista computer. If it's acompatible player, Vista it detects and displays a prompt asking what you would do with this drive.

• ReadyBoost does not recognize that the media meets the needs, but it works fine on another computer also running Vista Premium SP2 hope

  We strive to use readyboost on a 4 Gb Sandisk USB drive. It works fine on a computer running Vista Home Premium, but not on the other. Second computer indicates that the drive does not have the requirtements to use. He worked at one time, but is no longer. We tried all of the steps in other areas, NOTHING of GOOD!

  Please advise as soon as POSSIBLE!

• How to enable the ReadyBoost feature?

  I would like to know how to enable the ReadyBoost feature.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  I would like to know if it is possible to assign an SSD internal to do this instead of using a USB drive or not.  I tried ReadyBoost option in SSD drive is not available.

  Do you have any suggestions?
  Thanks a lot for your suggestions :>

  Hello

  Sorry, but you cannot use an internal hard drive for ReadyBoost. Indeed, an SSD can not use ReadyBoost.

  This feature can use a USB flash drive external as a hard drive cache to improve the disk read performance.
