Vista speed boost: does it work?

[skunkboy69]

It's quite a cool feature I reckon.

Modern flash memory technology gives a pretty large number of these though (100,000 or more?)

Does this mean my Eee days are numbered ?

I just realised, with lower amount of RAM in your system, Vista will not cache so much in RAM. so ready boost gets hit more. Vista will cache things in ram 1st, then Readyboost, then disk. Its called Superfetch.

Here is a nice description of whats going on and why..

Hmmmm just had the first blue screen of death with my laptop. The only difference in use has been turning on this speed boost thing properly...

I've had the laptop since last June and it runs Vista.
