Vista Readyboost

False, SuperFetch is really low priority and doesn't fight running applications for memory.

Well, my first-hand experience tells otherwise, but the issue arose with Fireworks MX04 - which isn't really compatible to Vista in the first place. Before I switched off SuperFetch, it would mill and mill while fighting over every last MB with SuperFetch, giving me crazily low performance. After switching it off, the performance was as good as it should've been.

But again, Fireworks MX04 isn't optimized nor properly compatible with Vista. I guess it releases memory as soon as it doesn't need it anymore, and requests memory as soon as it needs it, a bad idea in a world where applications should reserve all the space they could need shortly. This leads to SuperFetch thinking "gee, free memory" and filling the really actually free memory in times of low activity - and when then Fireworks needs a few hundred megs more memory again, it requests them and the swap file starts going crazy...

ok. looks like readyboost might help with loading times.(thnx(mad)). Not fps.(thnx zoe). Looks like 2G of ram is beyond what readyboost is about.(benchmarks.thnx stephen). i'll just spend that money on somethin else. i appreciate the steerage toward what this readyboost thing is about, cause i'm such a sucker for quick and ez fixes and performance boosts and such. dmnit! ya know... just plug it in and wow! look at the difference! lol. luckily i like ta research and such a bit before i let go of my money. and also ask for the advice of those who are generous enough ta share some smarts with me.

if you will get a stick with >30Mbytes per second it will improve performance even on > 2Gig machines. Test it out

The Corsair Voyager GT is very very good
