Ready Boost

**I Don't Know if this has been said***

Does anyone use 'Ready Boost'? What do you think about it?

If you don't know what it is here is what it does:
" ReadyBoost in Windows 7 can use your flash memory device to add instant RAM to your PC."

I've thought about using but never seen the point, maybe if your on a low end netbook or older laptop, but not on a desktop.

Never used it, never had a need. I thought about trying it out, just to play around with it, but I never got around to it.

Eh...RAM is cheap nowadays. I can't think of a machine made in the last 4 years that can't do at least 4GB.

Yes, it is true. My computer does have 4 GB although when I am running large programs the computer is very slow. So I have tried the 'Ready Boost' and it speeds up my computer by heaps. I have 20 GB of ram running at the current time. I can have a maximum of 200 some GB of ram connect.

You don't really have 20GB of RAM, you have 4GB of RAM and an overglorified, slightly faster than mechanically rotating, swap file...
