To be able to use Windows ReadyBoost your computer must have:
– Windows Vista
™
installed;
– a USB 2.0 port;
– access to a flash memory device with at least 1GB available storage.
Using Windows ReadyBoost
• Insert the flash drive USB connector into one of the computer’s
USB ports (fig. 2).
> Windows Vista now checks to see if the flash drive’s
performance is fast enough to work with Windows ReadyBoost.
If so, you are asked if you want to use the flash drive to speed up
system performance: the Windows Vista AutoPlay dialog box will
offer the option of using the device for ReadyBoost.
• You can choose to allocate part of the flash drive’s memory to
speed up performance and use the remainder to store files.
Once a flash drive has been assigned as the ReadyBoost flash drive
you can no longer use it to save files, play music or retrieve video
and pictures.
