16GB of memory i have but i still using 200x usb 16GB flash drive for ready boost.

so many ppl said if your pc have more then 4GB don't need readyboost but it helps my pc. readyboost take care tiny data's and my main memory take care of big stuff.

So if you have more then 4GB on ur pc but go head use ready boost also. it will help nothing is pain~

There are couple of things one need to do to get readyboost to work more efficiently.

1) Go into USB drive and properties. Change Policies from Quick Removal to Optimize Performance. Enable Write Cashe.

2) When these features are enable one can reformat USB flash to NTFS or the new elfat format.

3) Then launch ReadyBoost up to 4GB.

4) Monitor the performance using Task Manager, Resource Monitor, your USB access time drop to 20ms from 250ms. And ReadyBoost is used a lot by Sys.

You do know that a hard drive has a maximum of 60Mbps writing and 120Mbps reading. In a usb drive since it's inefficient it writed at 13Mbps and reads at 30Mbps.

HDD are actually faster you DUMBASSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jewie27 Greatly depends on usage.

[jewie27]

@EscapeNewJersey On average, it would take 10 years for the drive to "wear out".

@BlackOpsGaming123

which web cam will you recommend ?

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

@KashgroundTM Rather disable. You can't remove it. Then it'll give you a message that says something about a process running. You have to go into properties and disble Readyboost from there. The video response to this video even says something about "enable" Readyboost.

@Scourgeandmephiles93 lol remove readyboost

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

How do I remove Readyboost from the USB stick. It tells me something like: "Failed to remove because it's in use". Where do I go to remove the system feature?

BTW, my memory stick is supposed to be 8gb, but is somehow 7,45gb no matter how I format it. Are there any ways I can restore it to 8gb?
