What is Readyboost ?

Readyboost is a component in Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 which helps to configure a USB 2.0 flash drive, SD Card, Compact Flash or similar kind of USB drives to store system cache.

One way to improve your system performance is to add more system memory (RAM). But it is costly and in some Motherboards only 2 RAM slots will be available and if both are full then you can only replace the existing ones plus you need a hardware engineer’s help.

Even though Readyboost cannot guarantee same performance of a system SD/DDR RAM it can significantly improve your system performance especially if your system memory is too small.

To configure Readyboost you need a USB 2.0 compatible flash drive or minimum 256MB with a reading speed of 2.5MB/s and writing speed of 1.75MB/s.

In Windows Vista 32 bit the maximum capacity is limited to 3.5GB and in 64 bit version it is 16GB.

Windows 7 supports up to 8 Readyboost devices and a maximum of 256GB.

How to configure Readyboost ?

To configure Readyboost just insert your Pen drive/flash drive, right click on it and go to properties. Now click on the readyboost tab. It will show 3 options – Do no use this device, Dedicate this device to readyboost and Use this device.

If your flash drive is formatted to FAT32 then Windows will show you only 4GB as available space to readyboost due to file system limitations. If your drive is more that 4GB and want to configure for full space then reformat your drive to NTFS.

Some old flash drives may not meet Windows minimum requirements so Windows will display an error message saying that it cannot be configured for Readyboost.

Just select your required limit and click on Apply button to start using Readyboost.

Performance

If your system has enough system memory like 4GB then you may not see any significant improvement in overall working but Readyboost will show major improvement in system performance if your system memory is too small like 1GB or 512KB.

If you are planning to assemble a new machine or thinking about a processor upgrade then too many options are available today.

Here we compare some popular processors from Intel and AMD like Intel Core i7, Core i5, AMD Phenom II X4, Athlon II X4, Intel Quad Core and Core2Due series processors.

* small number means good value for money, high number means costly.

AMD Athlon II x4 620 is the best value processor as the index is very low (1.72) – a good processor with low price.

In Intel family Core i5 750 and Quad Code Q8200 are the best bets if you want to buy a processor which gives better value.

The performance rating data is based on the CPU Benchmark results from http://www.passmark.com/ which is based on thousands of performance benchmark tests.
