ReadyBoost
So has anyone noticed any performance improvements with this feature? If so, what are the specs of your computer and your flash drive?
My laptop has 1 GB RAM and I'm using 250 MB of my MP3 player as ReadyBoost to see what happens ... If it's good, I might go out and buy a 4 GB flash card just for ReadyBoost.

I've noticed a good performance boost using ReadyBoost - but you have to be careful, not all Flash Cards are compatible. I have a Cruzer Micro that seems to do just fine.

System
I have an HP 7360n with 4 GB Ram and a Cruzer Micro 4GB flash card and a HP 8120n with 2GB RAM and a 4 GB Cruzer Micro flash card. I keep meaning to have more RAM installed on the second unit, but its performing well enough without it.

Wow ... 4 GB of RAM and you still see an improvement with ReadyBoost?
