My last thread on the subject, honest!
I've got 4Gb of ram, and have just been pointed to a couple of very nice, and pretty cheap flash drives that have some good stats on them. They are both 8Gb on that site in Jersey. One is own brand, £16 and boasts:
# Read Speed: 10.5MB/S (70X)
# Write speed: 7.24MB/s (48X)
The other is a couple of quid more, is a PNY Attache Optima drive, and has Writing & reading speed: 10MB/s & 25MB/s.
I'm considering getting this second drive to use as a readyboost as its nice and cheap, and much higher than the minimums needed for readyboost. But would there be much of a performance increase to be seen? Also, according to wikipedia it can only use 4Gb for readyboost. Is this just because of the 32bit limitation, and would that not be a problem on a 64 bit OS? Or would there just be no point, as the 4Gb is good enough without needing readyboost?
Thankee
