ReadyBoost to the Extreme

The biggest hit I have been seeing here at Security Garden the past few days was when I updated Window Vista Bookmarks to include additional links on ReadyBoost. I had already made note to add the InformationWeek article, ReadyBoost: Better Windows Vista Performance In A Flash, from a couple of days ago. However, after receiving a question at one of the forums I frequent about RAM for Windows Vista, I decided to see what other reputable resources are available for Windows Vista users. I discovered sufficient reference material for ReadyBoost for it to justify a page all to itself. The dozen additions were added to the original collection.

Of particular interest for anyone considering ReadyBoost is the bookmarked Microsoft Windows Help and How-To topic which indicates that the recommended amount of memory to use for ReadyBoost acceleration is one to three times the amount of RAM installed. The example provided there is with a computer having 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM, plugging in a 4 gigabyte (GB) USB flash drive and setting aside from 512 MB to 1.5 GB of that drive will offer the best performance boost.
