W7 readyboost feature

[Deleted member 178]

did someone tried it? i used this feature and i saw no improvement

Using ReadyBoost in a PC with lots of RAM doesn't make any sense for me,

 

[Deleted member 178]

haha, seems a useless feature.

It was made with netbooks in mind, when you only have 1GB of ram and limited storage. Having the ability to store the most used data on a USB drive is a desired feature. But if you have 2GB+ RAM then it doesn't give much.

ok thanks for the info.

 

[win7holic]

it's good, but it for users just have 2GB ram or less
but for 2GB or more don't need it

You're wrong win7, If you're using RAM heavy applications and multitasks a lot, ReadyBoost can help your PC to run much faster,

no LOL
if have 4GB ram, not need use readyboost
you know, 3D apps just use max is 1,8GB and video editing 1GB max (for 64bit)
you can think it

It's not limited to Graphic,Video and Audio editing software, What about the Gamers and the Multitasking Users? Please keep in mind that some browsers can use more RAM than usual such as Firefox's Memory usage going over gigabytes.

such as Firefox's Memory usage going over gigabytes.

maybe it's a bug error or some error on firefox
my firefox is 250MB usage of ram
opened 6 tabs

It may not go over the gigabytes for us but think about the other users that experiences this problem. ReadyBoost can help them,

yep, like i said before, need it when just have 2GB ram or less

You forgot about the Heavy Gamers and Multitasking users.

gamers..? their will think for it
must have core i5 or high like core i7 with 8GB or more
and with great VGA card

 

[moonshine]

I'm not gonna reply anymore since you don't understand what I'm saying. :s

 

[win7holic]

if a gamers, will think about added more great hardware or upgrade like you do boxx

The USB stick that ReadyBoost uses will never be faster than your RAM but it might be faster than your HDD when it comes to random access times and this is why you might actually see a slight overall performance improvement. However this depends on the stick you are using (not all USB sticks are compatible) and to be honest it is much better to add more RAM than use ReadyBoost. It will also shorten the life of your USB stick. So it might be helpful on notebooks: laptop RAM is more expensive, HDD might be slow.
See ReadyBoost on Wikipedia and ReadyBoost works, but not a miracle (the article is a bit old).

Adding RAM will always be my first choice instead of using ReadyBoost.

ReadyBoost would only bring significant benefits if you are running on the bare minimum OS requirements, see:
