\n<\/strong><\/span> A ReadyBoost enabled USB flash drive can be used as extra RAM on \t\t\t\tyour Vista and Windows 7 computer to increase your system speed \t\t\t\tdramatically! While it is very easy to do, keep in mind that \t\t\t\teven if you have auto-run enabled for external devices, you will \t\t\t\tstill probably have to manually enable ReadyBoost. Keep in mind \t\t\t\tthat only high-speed ReadyBoost drives will work – and not all \t\t\t\tUSB Flash Drives are ReadyBoost capable. You can only use ReadyBoost if you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7 … just to make that clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a short tutorial:<\/span><\/p>\n

Step I: Insert the USB, open My Computer, then right click on \t\t\t\tthe drive letter that corresponds with the USB.<\/p>\n

Step II: Choose Properties from the dropdown menu as shown in \t\t\t\tthis screenshot<\/p>\n

Step III: When you choose Properties, a new window will open. \t\t\t\tChoose the ReadyBoost tab as shown below. If you do not see this \t\t\t\ttab, then the USB you have inserted is not ReadyBoost \t\t\t\tcompatible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Step IV: You can choose to dedicate the entire USB to \t\t\t\tReadyBoost, or a percent of the free space on the USB. If you \t\t\t\thave an extra USB we suggest you plug it into a port on the back \t\t\t\tof your PC, set it to “Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost” and \t\t\t\tjust leave it there all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you only want to dedicate part of it for ReadyBoost, click \t\t\t\tthe “use this device” option. Then, using the slider, decide how \t\t\t\tmuch space you want to use for ReadyBoost. This is a good option \t\t\t\tif you just want a temporary boost in RAM to complete a project \t\t\t\tor for a particular session.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that space reserved for ReadyBoost cannot be used \t\t\t\tto store files. Also, once you choose to use a USB for \t\t\t\tReadyBoost, you can change your mind easily and go back to \t\t\t\tstoring files on it.<\/p>\n
