Ready Boost is special technology used by Windows Vista. This technology allows the computer to use any flash drive as the RAM (Random Access Memory). So you do not have to buy the RAM Cards anymore you would just be able to buy a flash drives and use it to make you PC faster. Besides, you can use it for transporting the information to.These gadget flash drives are not as quick as the real RAM but they still help the computer to work faster. Its main advantage is that the page file will be written on them and they work much faster then the hard drive. Page file that is stored on the hard drive can hold about 100 – 200 queries per second, however the page file stored on a flash drive like this one can hold up to 5,000 queries per second. There is a difference in those numbers and it is really big.
These gadgets can work steady at speeds of 32 MB/s reading and 22 MB/s writing. It is really fast. My computer at home cannot do the same thing with its HDD which should be the fastest way to transfer data. Well, it was like that a long time ago.
There are two types of flash drives that have this technology enabled. Super Talented flash drives are fast and you will be able to get them with the capacity of 1 GB and 2 GB. 1 GB will cost you $ 30 and the 2 GB one will cost you $ 60.
Express Card flash drive is another gadget that has the Ready Boost technology enabled. You can get it with the capacity of up to 8 GB. I do not really understand why you would need an 8 BG flash drive for page file if the page file is limited to be up to 4 BG. The FAT 32 system limits it for the size of the file. Well, you will always have 4 GB of free memory. If you want this super fast flash drive gadget you are going to spend a lot of money. The 8 GB one will cost you $ 450 and the 1 GB one will cost you $ 70. Choose what you want.
