Its ReadyBoost.
And u need to use ReadyBoost-certified USB Thumbdrive.There will be a ReadyBoost logo on those compatible ones.And they are not as cheap as normal ones either. -
refering to the ready boost, how does it actually works? y can it only work with usb devices?
-
this is interesting
but VISTA is still full of bugs
-
so the best thing is to plug out the old ram, and see what is it, then referring to that and go buy ar?
-
Because it's Virtual RAM, not real RAM. It's not a substitute for the physical RAM, otherwise, you will find your PC not booting.Originally posted by lifeisgood9989:refering to the ready boost, how does it actually works? y can it only work with usb devices?
As for how it works, not entirely sure. Based on what I read, when you plug in removable storage, Vista will prompt you whether you want to use that as virtual RAM. If you click yes, it will be used as virtual RAM. Vista will then prioritize activities to use this virtual RAM, so it will not slow down the PC.
And it works with USB devices because most removable storage devices are USB. It's not limited to just USB, any removable storage will work. -
Straight answer - No. You cannot plug out your old RAM, because the USB devices are only providing virtual RAM, to speed up Windows. Physical RAM is still needed to boot up Windows.Originally posted by Y_Shun:so the best thing is to plug out the old ram, and see what is it, then referring to that and go buy ar? -
i think Y_Shun is referring to getting the info on the ram slots and model.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Straight answer - No. You cannot plug out your old RAM, because the USB devices are only providing virtual RAM, to speed up Windows. Physical RAM is still needed to boot up Windows.
TS: you may wanna use CPU-Z to know the no of slots and ram model.
