Has anyone ran ReadyBoost in Windows 7 ? Does it really speed the system up?

Just thought I'd ask before i give it a shot just in case it hangs up.

worked OK for me - just stick empty usb stick into a port. Not sure if it is good as RAM upgrade, but 8Gb usb sticks down to 229Baht in Tesco (Chumphon) today so that is worth a try... AA

Running it now, with a 64GB SATA III SSD. Apps I use frequently load noticeably faster, and the system seems more crisp.

I originally thought I could run it with Intel Rapid Storage Technology, but I never could get it to work. Readyboost was a no-brainer.

ok cool, im going to stick an 8gb SD card in after i type this post and see how it works out.

KRS1, did the earth move for you when you put the card in??? - am interested to know.

I think that there is a limit to the performance boost (presumably determined by your comp.'s existing RAM, and processor speed). But it would be nice to play with a 64Gb SSD... AA

Button clicking and opening windows/tabs, start menu items, window scrolling and opening folders appeared to have become snappier.

But using Dreamweaver and Photoshop and other applications nothing seems to have improved in these aspects.

But i think my SD card class speed may not be fast enough to have an effect.
