I.m sorry, the Ready-Boost feature of Vista is nothing more than a gimmick that "may" help systems that just don't have enough system RAM.

Ready-Boost merely extends the page / swap file onto a flash drive on the presumption that the flash drive will respond faster than the hard drive.

If your goal is to speed up any XP system, you are better off placing your energy and funds into more RAM. Even for Vista, more RAM is a better option than using Ready-Boost.
