Hi friends, in this tutorial I will present a function that helps us improve your computer's performance with a simple USB stick, this is called ReadyBoost technology, can be found on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
ReadyBoost can greatly help computers with little memory and hard drives poor, if you have SSD on the system, it is pointless to try ReadyBoost, not work, too ReadyBoost does not work on Windows XP, this is a feature introduced with the launch Windows Vista in 2006 on Windows 7 was much improved, and the vista things have improved with the introduction SP1 this service pack fix some bugs ReadyBoost, specifically on Windows Vista (without SP1) when inputs computer in sleep problems occur, ie problems occur out of sleep, now there are problems with ReadyBoost on Vista, however if you still have a windows vista without even SP1 will advise you to take action, can be found on the website microsoft to download and SP1 and SP2.
7 Windows ReadyBoost works flawlessly, those with less RAM will feel the difference Mamora best.
I have to tell you that not every stick will work with ReadyBoost, older sticks probably won't work due to poor performance, if you buy a USB stick on the market now there are great chances to buy a "ReadyBoost ready".
The principle is based ReadyBoost I explained in tutorial, which is why I invite you to watch it all in this video tutorial about ReadyBoost I told you to buy the sticks to go for sure, those two sticks I've tested and works 100% with good results.
You can consult the text below for any questions, there are some questions that a prominent member of the microsoft team answers on his personal blog, the quote is taken from Tom Archer's blog, Tom Archer is a senior MVP (Most Valuable Professional), a voice highly knowledgeable on the Microsoft team:

Q: What perf do you Need on your device?
A: 2.5MB / sec throughput for random reads and 4MB 1.75K / sec throughput for random writes 512K
Q: My device says 12MB / sec (or 133x or something else) on the package but windows says that it isn't fast enough to use as a ReadyBoost device… why?
A: Two Possible Reasons:
1. The numbers measure sequential performance and we measure random. We've seen devices that have great sequential perf, but horrible random
2. The performance isn't consistantly fast across the entire device. Some devices have 128M of lightning fast flash and the rest of the device is really slow. This is fine for some applications but not ReadyBoost.
Q: What's the largest amount of flash that I can use for ReadyBoost?
A: You CAN use up to 4GB of flash for ReadyBoost (Which turns out to be 8GB of cache w / the compression)
Q: Why can't I use more than 4GB of flash?
A: The FAT32 filesystem limits our ReadyBoost.sfcache file to 4GB
Q: What's the smallest ReadyBoost cache that I can use
A: The Smallest cache is 256MB (well, 250 after formatting). Post beta2, May we drop it Another 10 MB or so.
Q: Ok... 256M-4GB is a pretty big range... any recommendations?
A: Yes. We recommend a 1: 1 ratio of flash to system memory at the low end and as high as 2.5: 1 flash to system memory. Higher than that and you won't see much benefit.
Q: Isn't this just putting the paging file onto a flash disk?
A: Not really - the file is still backed on disk. This is a cache - if the data is not found in the ReadyBoost cache, we fall back to the HDD.
Q: Aren't Hard Disks Faster Than Flash? My HDD has 80MB / sec throughput.
A: Hard drives are great for large sequential I / O. For Those Situations, ReadyBoost gets out of the way. We focused on Improving the performance of small, random I / Os, like paging to and from disk.
Q: What Happens When You remove the drive?
A: When a surprise remove event occurs and we can’t find the drive, we fall back to disk. Again, all pages on the device are backed by a page on disk. No exceptions. This isn't a separate page file store, but rather a cache to speed up access to frequently used data.
Q: Isn't user data on a removable device a security risk?
A: This was one of our first Concerns and to Mitiga this risk, we use AES to encrypt 128 Everything that we write to the device.
Q: Won't this wear out the drive?
A: Nope. We're aware of the lifecycle issues with flash drives and are smart about how and when we do our writes to the device. Our research shows that we will get at least 10+ years out of flash devices that we support.
Q: Can use use multiple devices for EMD?
A: Nope. We've limited Vista to one ReadyBoost per machine
Q: Why just one device?
A: Time and quality. Since this is the first revision of the feature, we decided to focus on making the single device exceptional, without the difficulties of managing multiple caches. We like the idea, though, and it's under consideration for future versions.
Q: Do you support SD / CF / Memory Stick / MMC / etc.?
A: Mostly. In beta2, we added support for a small number of SD / CF cards on internal USB2 & PCIe busses. RC1 has a much broader support range.
Q: Why don't you support SD on my USB2.0 external card reader?
A: We unfortunately don’t support external card readers - there were some technical hurdles that we didn’t have time to address. In general, if a card reader shows a drive without media in it (like a floppy drive or CD ROM does), we can't use it for ReadyBoost.
Q: Will it support all USB drives, regardless of how they are ID'd to the OS (“hard disk drive” or “Device with Removable Storage”)?
A: We have no way to tell what is on the other end of the USB cable so we do Some basic size checks (Since no one has a flash device 200GB
Q: Can you use mp3 year player to speed up your system?
A: Not currently. MP3 players use the 'plays for sure' interfaces to expose themselves to Windows. We require that the device appear as a disk volume. These aren't currently compatible.
Q: How much of the Increase speed are we talking about?
A: Well, That depends. On average, a RANDOM 4K read from flash is about 10x faster than from HDD. Now, how does that translate to end-user perf? Under memory pressure and heavy disk activity, the system is much more responsive, on a machine with FEW 4GB applications running, the ReadyBoost effect is much less noticable.
Q: I can't get my device to work with ReadyBoost… can I lower the perf requirements?
A: Unfortunately, no. We've set the perf requirements to the lowest possible throughput that still makes your system faster. If we lowered the perf requirements, then there wouldn't be a noticeable benefit to using ReadyBoost. Remember, we’re not adding memory, we’re improving disk access.
Q: Which manufacturers support ReadyBoost?
A: Well, I hope that all of them do, eventually. Right now, we're working with manufacturers to create a program that will allow them to identify ReadyBoost capable devices on their packaging.

Here is a very interesting trick that allows the use of ReadyBoost with any USB stick: "http://www.liviumihai.ro/readyboost-pentru-orice-stick-usb/"
I suggest when you do not hit any site ECEL 2 quotes uitete just that.
"Http://www.liviumihai.ro/readyboost-pentru-orice-stick-usb/"
I put quotes in links, I put to you the quotes, I have many quotes and I have nothing to do with them, you have to use them somehow!
Well if you are, why not use them.: D
Very loud:> Thank you :)! Keep it that way: D
I have 3G ram and it barely crawls win7 on a hard sata II. Does it work somehow as a kind of swap? or ... just put the small files on it that need quick access. If this is the case then it is preferable to defragment by moving the large files to the end of the hard drive and adding some frames. Now all we have to do is see if anyone succeeds to install a win7 on 512 frames what performance you get. I look forward to other comments.
The computer is a totalitarian. You can have not 4G but 16G RAM if your processor is old is lazy, if the hard drive is slow and old, if the video card is weak and old if the chipset is old ... I only have 2G of RAM and I'm running Windows 7, sometimes I get the impression that it runs better than Windows XP but obviously it's just the placebo effect, anyway it moves super and I repeat with only 2G of RAM
I gave a question but if for example the response miatay AM A 500 ISO images by MEFA and archive SIZE OF LESS OR NOT THEY?
But you do not have hands to right click on the archive and choose Compress or add to the archives? then right click on the ISO file and choose properties created archive and compare size. What's with these awkward questions? We're too lazy to even make an archival Domle?
He only asked if the 500 MEGA lowers iso If an archive.
And don't be so "aggressive."
I figure if an archive decreases, but if I choose to compresion-NSEL a slower method, to compress as mult.Daca was not wrong and we share a tutorial iso many archives (eg : often find the game a lot of trackers archives, unzip those if they give you. iso).
@ Mr. Cristi, (no offense) but you can consider a weak system that you can install into remote vista or 7 gender? Well when an old memory or SDRAM ddr1 where they stand?
7 Windows can be installed on a computer with 512MB RAM, no matter it is SDRAM, DDR1, DDR2.
A ram 512 system is far from a powerful or those with 1024 MB are too nimble.
A computer with low specs can not be used even for xp, there's something else.
Windows 7 not require too many resources to the user who wants to install it in 2010 not much you can do with a computer weak.
To answer your question directly, I do not consider performing any 2048 MB system memory, that is the minimum of decency, of course this is my opinion.
ISO images, photos in JPG, GIF etc, AVI movies, MP4 etc. MP3 music, MP4 etc, all is already compressed, there is no point in trying to compress them to reduce their size, you can if you want to archive Password them or share them in the summer multiple files.
A compression and archiving software cannot compress anything like this ...
I HAVE A MSI P45-C51 AND A RAM NVIDIA GTS250 4GB DDR3 What OS MIATY recommend Windows XP or Windows Vista 32 bits
You can use what you want, I would use Windows 7, liceenta money unless you can try it for 90 days, you see that we have a tutorial.
You have a good system, it's a shame to use XP.
I would like subiectul.SI interesting in future tutorials like that.
presented in the tutorial where you have to get ready bust? download it on google?
I can't find where to download ready boost. I mean I would find it but I'm not sure if it's that ready boost like yours. You can give me a download link ... please very much very much
actually not at all where we find all sorts of stupid iau.Gasesc ide xp.Dar Ready Boost for Windows 7 and I do not know where it once iau.Inca please give me a download link Peter Ready Boost
ReadyBoost is not downloading from anywhere, is a function included in the operating systems Windows Vista and Windows 7, if you use Windows Vista or 7 and insert a stick enough performance to be used with ReadyBoost, you will see an option in the autoplay menu if you disabled autoplay function can right click on the icon's stick in Computer (My Computer) and click on the ReadyBoost tab.
Repeat.
ReadyBoost can not download it from anywhere, it comes included with Windows operating systems ie Windows Vista 7.
01.If I'm not mistaken, that "ready boost" appears automatically when you insert the stick ... 02.If I'm not mistaken Cristi specified at the beginning of the tutorial that it is valid for Vista and Seven
03. My opinion (not that it would matter) "ready boost" comes as a help for Vista stupidity that eats hard resources and does not sell.
Ps. Seven is quite acceptable but those who give money t will not give up so easily on XP!
