Ready Boost will allow you to use that spare flash drive or memory card to augment your computer’s RAM memory on a temporary basis. Vista manages the items it stores on the memory card to ensure that if the card is suddenly removed, your computer does not come crashing down around you.

——————————————————————————–
*note* The faster the speed of your USB drive or memory card, the better the performance enhancement. ReadyBoost will only work with newer USB Flash drives labeled “enhanced for ReadyBoost”. We tested Ready Boost with a 512 MB 4x compact flash card through a USB card reader for example, and it was not ReadyBoost capable. We also tested a Fujifilm xD Picture Card and it was not compatible. Click the link for a list of the cards that claim to be Enhanced for ReadyBoost.
