Question about Readyboost


Picollo

Recommended Posts

Does anyone use it? which is the best system file to use with it? (exfat, fat 32, ntfs? )

do you see any improvements?

also another related question, with 16 GB RAM should i use pagefile on HDD (note: i dont use SSD) or disable it completely (i heard some programs use the pagefile and can cause bsod)?

ReadyBoost is good for some laptops and old computers, with 16 GB of RAM you wont see any speed improvement!

You should never disable the page file, however you can reduce it's size to 500 MB or less.

That's my opinion about it, I hope it helps. Um abraço. :)

Readyboost helps if your laptop or pc has less than 4gb of memory. Pedrito is right, I go with his advice.

I use readyboost and fancycache on my ofice laptop.

Not required. However, just for info, USB formatted in FAT allows 2GB of Readyboost, FAT32 does 4GB and as for NTFS:

ReadyBoost works with most flash storage devices. In Windows 7, it can handle more flash memory and even multiple devices—up to eight, for a maximum 256 gigabytes (GB) of additional memory.
