Default Windows Ready Boost

Okay I finally realized I need to stop upgrading my computer. I was going to upgrade to 64-bit and then add 4GB of RAM, but I don't have the money for that right now. I've heard how Ready Boost can speed up your computer but how exactly does it work? Is it like system RAM? Because I'm on 32-bit Vista with 4GB of RAM already, would Windows even be able to use the Ready Boost drive? I've been able to run my computer with page file disabled since I added the 4th GB, but some games like Crysis drain all of my system memory and crash. Would adding a 2GB flash drive as a Ready Boost drive help at all? Then I could disable the page file again. Thanks in advance!
