Anyone Using ReadyBoost

[Andy M]

GDay All,

I've just installed a USB flash memory drive that is capable of
supporting ReadyBoost.

After setting up the memdrive to use ready boost all it seems to do is
sit there and blink it's little LED's heart out.

Is this normal when using ReadyBoost or is there a problem here??

Aside from that, I don't see any changes or benefits to my system.

Is there away to test/check to see if readyboost is functioning correctly??

No, can't say that I use it.

As others have intimated... RB is really only beneficial on systems with
512MB's or, maybe, 1GB RAM. Better to lay wallet to more physical RAM.

You can see if it is functioning and the amount of activity by launching
your Reliability and Performance Monitor and looking in the disk section for
the drive that contains your ReadyBoost.
