Readyboost is just a temporay pagefile, pyo. It's only useful if you're running low on RAM, pyo. Readyboost will also be slower than RAM, so if you're using a Readyboost partition, whatever is loaded onto it might run slower, pyo.

Don't bother with that, buy more ram if you need it. It only works in USB flash drives, SSD or nand based storage.

To add onto every one saying buy more RAM, look up the documentation for your netbook to see what's the maximum support for RAM capacity. I know netbooks in particular only allow a maximum of 2GB or so, even on the latest ones.

if the netbook had 1GB of ram with 4GB USB x10, it is mean still ran in 1GB  ?

ready boost is kinda old now and it came out before SSDs. If you have a SSD in your netbook then ready boost will be useless as USB flash is slower than SSD. I used readyboost ages ago on a laptop that had 512mb ram and windows vista and i saw no performance improvement.

You'd have effectively, 1GB of high speed RAM, and effectively up to 4GB of low speed RAM, pyo.

Isn't that the feature they added in vista to let you use a USB flash stick as a page file / extra memory? xD stupidest feature ever - if you've ever ran out of RAM and had to experience swapping to HDD, you know how unusable that is... now just imagine it's 100x slower than that

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Doesn't hurt to look around. DDR3 is pretty cheap nowadays. You can pick up a used stick of 2GB SO-DIMM DDR2/3 for around 15 bucks or so. Not the worse price to pay as it can turn this tiny little netbook into a commute warrior.

It's not going to improve on it or anything.

The feature was introduced to allow system that are low in RAM to have more of it, but instead of using actual RAM disk, it would use the USB flash drive as a page file (It can't be directly RAM, as the CPU is not hard wired with it, like it is with the RAM slots. And the CPU can only work with the RAM, nothing else. Anything in your HDD/SSD that it wants to work with, needs to be transferred to the RAM, either in small segments (stream data), or in full).

 

The idea is that USB flash drives have fast access time over HDD, and that is the most important thing in RAM. See it this way, a big part of why SSDs are much faster than HDDs, isn't their max transfer speeds, but rather their very low access times. The feature targets computer users with system that cant' be upgraded (soldered on memory, or system doesn't support more RAM, can't find the right RAM due to age of the system), or don't know how to upgrade a computer.

 

As Microsoft says: It isn't as fast as RAM by considerable margin, but it is faster than HDD (SSD's were not out at the time of the introduction of this feature).

 

It does NOT work with all USB flash drive, you need a fast enough ones. So, those free USB flash drive, or dollar ship garbage ones, will most likely not work, but any decent one, should.

What about usb 3.1 or ever more faster flash drive. it is make any change?

Nope. Even USB 4.0, if you can imagine the specs.

The problem with USB is that you don't have a fully dedicated controller. It needed and uses the CPU. This creates latency. That is why you have SATA, where the SATA controller is an actual processor by itself. As for PCIe drives, they cost more over SATA version of drive as they need its own full fledged controllers (also be small in size).

 

So, as a result, beside the fact that your CPU usage will go up a bit, it will also have additional latency. Latency is everything for RAM.

You are better off changing the HDD to an SSD.

I've seen it offered on some drives that it definitely shouldn't have
