One of the problems with running VPC demos on laptops is having
enough
RAM for both the host and the virtal os.

Does Readyboost have much of an impact on this? Has anyone tried
this?

Thanks,

it will have an impact on the underlying OS speed, thus the VPC's will be
better off..

but you will not be able to increase the ram of the virtual clients of
course by addressing the flash memory as ram.. it doent work that way.

I have been thinking of using VMware that supports usb2 and use a flashdrive
to enhance the vpc client (if it is vista) but Im not sure that it will
work, and I have not tried it yet.

have in mind that having a resource hog OS like vista as the virtual pc
host,
is a very bad idea... Vista alone needs too much resources just to carry
its own bloated weight and you are talking
about loading another OS on top of that... lol
 
if you insist on using vista, you can make a striped down version of
vista.. too..
see this free program (but you must make an install DVD or CD -yes with this
you CAN fit vista in a CD )

How much ram do you have?
