I'm just a helpless layman who owns a home computer and I just want it
to perform at its best. Once again, I'm caught in the crossfire
between dueling experts. I have Vista Ultimate on a laptop with 2GB
RAM. If I add ReadyBoost compatible flash memory, will it
significantly increase my computer's performance? Some experts claim
the more system memory - the less benefit from ReadyBoost. I don't
know if 2 gigs of system memory is the threshold at which flash
memory, as cache memory, becomes a waste of time.
Other experts preach the doctrine of flash memory and ReadyBoost. They
insist that even though the read/write speed of a USB flash drive is
slower that a hard drive, the speed at which flash memory sticks
deliver random data kicks the crap out of hard drives because hard
speeds are optimized only for the transfer of sequential data.
I don't know who the hell to believe. Maybe I better just keep my
money in my pocket until the smoke clears. What say you?
