ReadyBoost.

[sanjay]

Hi Folks,

I have a sandisk M2 8gb memory card with an adapter for the card reader. I
use
the memory card/stick in my sony mobile phone.

Now, I tried to use the 8gb M2 card with the adapter in my sony laptop's
card reader to "Speed Up My System", incidentally my laptop has 2gb RAM. But,
Windows-VISTA's ReadyBoost response was: "The Card Does Not Have The
Correct Speed" and cannot be used!

I was told that the memory card should "USUALLY" be the same as the
laptop's ram memory.

So, is it the incpmpatibility of the amount of memory i.e. 8gb:2gb, or is
it that M2 card is not fast enough to be used as extra memory boost?

Many thanks for your reply/s.

Regards,

SM

I tried 'ReadyBoost' and to be honest, if anything, the system seemed to be
slowed by it; however, this is an anecdotal not forensic assessment.

What did really boost the speed of things was when I dropped ReadyBoost and
just went out and bought and installed more RAM. I went up from 1 to 2 GB of
RAM and the thing now works very very well.

Hi, Sanjay.

I've been using a 1 GB ReadyBoost USB flash drive for over a year. A few
months ago I bought a 4 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive, making sure that the
package said that it was "Enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost". It was about 3
months before I got around to actually plugging in the Cruzer - and it
failed! It said approximately the same as your failed card, that it was not
capable of serving as a ReadyBoost drive.

So I took it back to Best Buy and even-swapped it for the exact same
product - which works fine (although over 1 MB is used by U3.exe, which I
haven't used yet).

On the original Cruzer package, the "Enhanced..." message was on a paper
labeled stuck onto the plastic bubble package. For the replacement, I made
sure that the messages was printed on the card INSIDE the plastic!

My computer first had 2 GB of PC6400 RAM, then I added another 2 GB of the
identical memory. Last month, I had to remove one stick because it had
failed, so now I'm running with 3 GB of actual RAM plus the 4 GB ReadyBoost.

I assume it's that it's not fast enough.

But more important, with 2GB of RAM in your computer, it's highly
unlikely that ReadyBoost will provide you with any perceptible
performance increase.

Not all the memory card/stick are Vista readyboost ready
You have do some trick to fool the Vista and let you use the card/stick
Change the Registry (regedit)
Local machine/software/microsoft/windowsNT/current version/EMDmgmt
Select the device status to 2,
ReadyboostKBs to 1000000
WriteSpeedKBs to 1000000

quit the regedit
then you can use it
