Boost PC Performance Using Windows ReadyBoost

Starting in Windows Vista and included with Windows 7, Microsoft has included a new feature called Windows ReadyBoost. It helps boost your PC performance by making use of spare space on your USB flash drive, SD card, or CompactFlash card.

Essentially, it expands your computer's available memory, which can help speed up multitasking and other performance-heavy applications such as video editing or gaming. Though it's not as good as adding more real RAM, it is free and easy if you have space room on a drive.

In Windows Vista, you're limited to an additional 4 GB, using only one USB device. However, in Windows 7, you can use up to eight USB devices with a total limit of an additional 256 GB.

You can enable and change the ReadyBoost settings via the USB drive's Properties dialog. In Computer, right-click the drive or card, click Properties, and then hit the ReadyBoost tab.
