readyboost and dual core
Superfetch and its sidekick readyboost are a joke that offers very little... Superfetch isn't caching ether, Superfetch is about *pre-caching* -- In short, Superfetch preloads data (mainly executable code) that it feels is likely to be needed before being called. People in here claim that Vista uses all the ram..

Readyboost...?
I think Vista made some nomenclature changes just for the sake of change...not sure why some were needed at all. Withsufficient hardware horsepower and ram, Make sure to read about SuperFetch, ReadyBoost, Compound TCP, and the impact of dropping native OpenGL support. Me, I'm running out to buy a ReadyBoost

New monitor needed to view Hi-Definition content WTF are you yapping on about here? * Vista will encrypt hard drives by Default Bollocks. Vista may shorten the life of flash memory (by using it for caching via SuperFetch - only has 10000 writes: bad idea) Erm, I think you mean ReadyBoost.

Ready Boost...how do I shut it off.
Never knew I needed it. Linux likely doesn't need it. It's likely a cludge needed due to Vista being a little on the heavy side. Nobody will use readyboost once the machines catch up and MS brings out beta 2, ah SP1, with the performance fix. Furthermore, M$ SHOULD be getting cheaper. It is.

64 bit issue
Readyboost does help but it's not a huge difference. Even without it I wasn't seeing those slow downs. What I was disagreeing with was your statement about what's needed to have a "sweet, smooth, experience" with Vista. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] --- avast! Antivirus: Inbound message clean.

Vista Readyboost...
getting to the point now, well i also have a system with two physical dual core processors on it. so i needed to use vista ultimate to get both to work. no readyboost, took all but 2 GB ram out (didnt see 4 anyway),and took out everything down to one grafix card and nothing else but what is necessary and still

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO VISTA ACTIVATION
As far as Readyboost, forget it, spend the money on RAM. To get Readyboost to work you need a fast flashdrive, which is not much cheaper than another GB of memory. background and using IE, the gauge goes up to 80+%. Do I need to get more memory? Is 1GB just the bare minimum needed to run vista? Thanks to all Don.

"Readyboost" with XP.
... added a 2 GB flash drive to my laptop with vista home premium and the readyboost is just fabulous. both core performance meters were always pinned at 100% in the red and after in the PII days & CPU 2 always did less work. But you still noticed the difference between 1 & 2 CPU's in those OS's if you needed them.

Ready Boost
When ever I enable readyboost I am losing memory. I start off with 750 Megs or so of used space, enable readyboost and I jump to 850 Megs of used space. Through prefetch it will load programs in cache based on your usage patterns so they are ready if needed. If a different app is started, memory is released for

Vista Readyboost...
When the system manages it, it will monitor the size of the paging file, and will then automatically make it larger when needed. This causes two problems. ....

Speeding up Vista
I have also had a situation where my USB BUS had completely locked up after writing to the Readyboost Flash Drive. I needed to remove power from the PC to reset it.
