boost me baby
Now I gets a Asus netbook with windows 7 starter I finally remember about readyboost So I google readyboost and can't find anything good about it, all I see is buy more ram.

So without the boost ima trying to shread a movie with a 6 pass shread. 700meg file is taking 10 minutes and more because I gave up trying after that point. It froze the heck out of the OS. I tried it about 4 times after rebooting each time. Almost an hour blown away.

Finally I got a 4gig flash drive and set it for 1gig in readyboost. Put the movie in the shreader and bam in 2 minutes it was done. And the program didn't freeze the OS.

I looked at Taskman with 1gig of ram
before and after.
Before my bloatware took 800meg of ram,
cached ram was like 398meg
available was like 317meg and
free ram was 87meg

after with readyboost running
I now gits 547meg of ram
cached ram at 278meg
available ram at 466meg
and free ram at 198meg

before IE 8.0 would take about 5 seconds to load about:blank
after IE 8.0 loads about:blank in a fraction of a second.

It works for me.
