READYBOOST flash drives How much does it increase your RAM?

[cabernet]

I read in a magazine that New flash drives with READY BOOST (and If your using Vista) it can increase your PC's RAM. My question is by how much?... If its a decently significant boost I'd buy some but I'm not too sure, anyone who has tried know?...

Most ram optimizing programs allow you to set how much space it will try to free up. They are all almost identical. They just make sure you have all the free that should be available actually available.

Yeah, I use 1Gb on my flash drive since I don't use it for anything except diagnostics.... I think it works a little.

It's not an optimization program, it allows you to use a Ready Boost-enabled flash drive as a type of page file. It doesnt actually add to your RAM.

(BTW, I thought Cromewell posted that at first because you two have very similar avatars)

My bad. I guess I didn't read thoroughly. Was pretty tired at the time.
