People aren’t aware there’s a statute of limitations regarding appropriate length of time for commenting? Counting your comment as well

Oh wait, I just commented on something months afterwards.. guess I’ll plea bargain to reduce my sentence.

I have a Dell laptop with 4gb RAM and I didn’t notice any improvement after using a 2gb USB2 flash drive with Readyboost. I ran the Windows experience index and did not see an improvement in any category.

Any suggestions?

its not the same though. sure, readyboost does help a lot, but with 4 gigs of actual ram, you pretty much dont even need readyboost, unless you're using heavy programs.

Now when looking for a laptop, one of the first features you should check is if has an SD card slot. $10 for 4 gigs of sd card sure is cheaper than over $100 for 4 gb of ram…

If you have a media card slot (SDHC, for instance), you can also setup a readyboost cache on that and have it present all of the time. Actually, my Expresscard also works just fine. BTW, a couple of things people do not seem to know is that 1) the 4GB limit is gone if you format the drive (or card) as Exfat, and 2) you can have more than one readyboost cache at the same time. I've dedicated all of my 8GB Expresscard and half of an 8GB SDHC card as an experiment. The results have impressed me and since both cards reside inside slots in my laptop, I can run them as permanent caches (unless I need the SDHC slot for something)….

Guess thats because I have a SSD for my hard drive that achieves a 6.9 on the WEI.

I use 4GB of flash drive as readyboost. Especially on my slow laptop, I do see quite an improvement in performance. I wonder if the gains will be as large when I try it on my new (and much faster) desktop that's coming…
