| A feature introduced with Microsoft
Windows
Vista that utilizes faster memory found in USB storage
devices or other external flash memory storage as an extension to
the computers overall system memory to increase the performance of
Windows without having to add additional RAM. Microsoft recommends
the amount of memory to be used with ReadyBoost be one to three
times the amount of random access memory (RAM) installed in your
computer. For example, if your computer has 512MB of RAM and you
connect a 4GB USB flash drive, setting aside from 512MB to 1.5GB of
that drive will offer the best performance boost.
To enable or otherwise adjust this setting follow the below
steps.
- Open My Computer
- Right-click on the drive letter for the USB device or other
flash memory storage device and click Properties.
- In the Removable Disk Properties click the ReadyBoost tab.
- If you wish to use the device with ReadyBoost select "Use
this device" and move the slider to the right to specify how
much of the storage device you wish to use with ReadyBoost.
