Vista 64bit ReadyBoost

Hey guys, i've tested my girlfriends 1gb Corsair memory stick and now my 2gb Lexar SD card and Readyboost says it doesnt meet the required performance.

Can anyone help me?

my guess is it is not compatible..? :confused:

There are ways around it but the requirements are there for a reason. No real point in forcing a USB drive to do what its not meant to do.

Readyboost needs a USB drive that can hold a certain speed reading the writing, yours just won't be fast enough

readyboost on x64 O.o
if you have less than 4gb why not install x86

Ive tried readyboost. No difference with 4gb. But then, why would it even need it.

Quite. Ready boost is for low physical memory systems, if your running a couple of gb or so you really wont need it

ReadyBoost will speed up boot times even on 4GB systems though. Though I rarely reboot so I didn't bother.
