hi guys. found something useful trick.

With the release of Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft has introduced a new technology called ReadyBoost.


With the help of this technology you can use any Flash drive, SD Cards, CF Cards as the third memory option for the computer.

For Windows Vista & 7

  • Open My Computer.
  • Right Click on the Removable Disk Drive and select Properties.
  • Click on ReadyBoost Tab.
  • Enable the feature by selecting the option and allocate the amount of space you want to use as memory.
Things to be noted

  • You need at least 512 Mb of memory to run Windows Vista & 7 decently.
  • If your device is not giving the option of ReadyBoost, then it means that it doesn’t clear up the minimum data trasfer rate required by ReadBoost technology.
For Windows XP


Give Your Windows PC a Boost! eBoostr implements a different advanced approach to use flash memory to speed up your computer forXP




use ur 2GB Pen drive and use only 1024 capacity of pen drive for cache. You will get speed of 1GB, as if u have upgraded your RAM to 1GB.

I used to use readyboost quite some time ok. It was more of a lag for me. I used to use it for video editing and cause it rapidly kept writing to the thumbdrive (with usb 2.0), it ended up lagging much more than without the readyboost. I guess with usb 3.0, this could actually be a blessing.
 
why don;t you try it rather than asking "anyone tried" ? and don't you see comments mate few of em already saying "old trick, but good" or "working" etc... ?

@others,

thanks
